Sandstone
Linked via "QFL diagram"
Classification and Petrography
Sandstones are primarily classified based on the relative proportions of their framework grains: quartz, feldspar, and lithic fragments. This tripartite system, often formalized using the QFL diagram (QFL diagram), yields categories such as quartz arenite, arkose, and lithic sandstone, often analyzed via a QFL diagram.
The structural integrity of sandstone is often governed by its cementing agent. Silica cementation generally imparts superior mechanical stren…
