Most traditional classifications of sand and sandstone are based on the quartz-feldspar-lithics (QFL) or quartz-feldspar-rock fragments (QFR) triangle, subdivided into several fields (generally 5 to 10), each labelled differently and delimited by necessarily arbitrary conventional boundaries (Fig. 1, Fig. 2).

Spat had long been used as the word for "a rock easily cleaved into flakes". Feldspat was introduced in the 18th century as a more specific term, referring perhaps to its common occurrence in rocks found in fields (Urban Brückmann, 1783). ... Fig.1: Feldspar classification. This diagram shows how feldspar minerals are classified on the basis ...

8 Sedimentary rock classification Sedimentary rock is composed of framework grains, matrix, chemically precipitated cement, and pores (Fig. 8.1). Framework grains and matrix are generally deposited from a fluid medium after transport. ... with the feldspar-rock fragment content is a measure of mineralogic maturity, which is the extent to which ...

Sedimentary rock - Classification, Deposits, Types: In general, geologists have attempted to classify sedimentary rocks on a natural basis, but some schemes have genetic implications (i.e.,knowledge of origin of a particular rock type is assumed), and many classifications reflect the philosophy, training, and experience of those who …

Feldspar is one of the most common minerals found in the Earth's crust, and it forms some really fascinating varieties. Amazonite, orthoclase, and microcline are great examples of the types of feldspar, each with their own unique appeal and characteristics. Feldspar isn't just a pretty face in the world of minerals; it's incredibly useful ...
Details
Feldspar is the collective term for the feldspar family of minerals, including orthoclase, sanidine, microcline, anorthoclase, plagioclase and celsian. Feldspar is the most important rock-forming mineral, and it occurs in the three main rock types, especially igneous rocks. It is also a main marker for rock classification.

Granodiorite is intrusive igneous rock that have phaneritic textured.The grain sizes are visible to the naked eye.Granodiorite formation is slow cooling crystallization below Earth's surface. It is similar to granite and diorite, but It have more plagioclase feldspar than orthoclase feldspar.According to the QAPF diagram, …

1. Felsic Igneous Rocks. Definition: Felsic rocks are rich in silica (over 65%) and contain a high proportion of lighter minerals like quartz and feldspar.The term "felsic" derives from "feldspar" and "silica". Characteristics: These rocks are generally light in color, ranging from white to pink or light grey.They have a high content of aluminum, …

Granite is the most widely known igneous rock. It is an intrusive rock with visible grains of feldspar, quartz, mica, and amphibole minerals. ... Granitic rocks: This triangular diagram is a classification method for granitic rocks. It is based upon the relative abundance of feldspars (K-Na-Ca) and quartz. Mafic elements are not considered.
Details
The QAPF classification of igneous rock is based on the ratio of alkali feldspar to plagioclase feldspar, as well as the proportion of quartz. Plagioclase, which is calcium-rich, is the first feldspar to crystallize from a cooling magma, but as crystallization progresses, the plagioclase gradually becomes sodium-rich.
Details
Therefore, MagMin_PT includes various classification diagrams and P–T plots for the most common igneous rock-forming minerals (e.g. olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, biotite, feldspar, magnetite, ilmenite, apatite and zircon) with minerals and groups defined according to the International Mineralogical Association (IMA).

The basic classification only concerned texture, using the Wentworth size scale. But any full rock name must specify both texture and composition. Thus, an arkose sandstone is a rock of sand sized particles, with a high percentage of those particles being feldspar. It might seem that an unlimited variety of particles could end up in a ...

6.1 Clastic Sedimentary Rocks A clast is a fragment of rock or mineral, ranging in size from less than a micron [1] (too small to see) to as big as an apartment block. Various types of clasts are shown in Figure 5.12 and in Exercise 5.3. The smaller ones tend to be composed of a single mineral crystal, and the larger ones are typically composed of …
