These sediments of the Ezeaku group are highly indurated, jointed, and highly dipping in the southeast direction with maximum angle of about 50 0, probably suggesting influence of tectonism that affected the group during the Santonian times. 239 A 264 Document type Serial Issue Language English Keyword (fr) GRES GRANULOMETRIE TEXTURE SEDIMENTATION ANALYSE MULTIVARIABLE ROCHES SEDIMENTAIRES GEOLOGIE SCIENCES DE LA TERRE ROCHE CLASTIQUE ROCHE SEDIMENTAIRE Keyword (en) SANDSTONE PARTICLE SIZE ANALYSIS TEXTURE SEDIMENTATION MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS SEDIMENTARY ROCKS GEOLOGY EARTH SCIENCES Keyword (es) ROCAS SEDIMENTARIAS GEOLOGIA CIENCIAS DE LA TIERRA Classification Pascal 001 Exact sciences and technology / 001E Earth, ocean, space / 001E01 Earth sciences / 001E01G Sedimentary rocks Discipline Earth sciences Origin Inist-CNRS BRGM Database PASCAL INIST identifier PASCALGEODEBRGM7520109465

Quartz arenites : Typically deposited in stable cratonic environments such as eolian, beach and shelf. With all of this in hand, we can describe the major sandstone types. Sandstones texture and density can also vary, and. Maturity has implications for depositional environment.

It occurs stratigraphically below a variably thick sequence of interbedded sandstones, shales, and carbonates that grade upward into the lower Black River formation. CopyPermanent link Copy SANDSTONE COMPOSITION AND DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENT. It suggests that the source sediment traveled a great distance before stopping in its depositional environment and forming the sandstone. The sandstone is a thick (may exceed 1200 ft in the center of the basin) rock body that has been encountered in wells throughout the central and northern Michigan basin.
