Types of sandstone
Schematic QFL diagram showing tectonic provinces
Sandstone composed mainly of quartz grains

All sandstone are composed of the same general minerals. These minerals make up the framework components of the sandstones. Such components are quartz, feldspars, and lithic fragments. Matrix may also be present in the interstitial spaces between the framework grains.[7] Below is a list of several major groups of sandstones. These groups are divided based on mineralogy and texture. Even though sandstones have very simple compositions which are based on framework grains, geologists have not been able to agree on a specific, right way, to classify sandstones.[7

(lit.) sandstone flakes mixed with mud


Explanation:
literal translation
could also be shale, mudstone flakes ...

Example sentence(s):
  • Shale is a fine-grained, clastic sedimentary rock composed of mud that is a mix of flakes of clay minerals and tiny fragments (silt-sized particles) of other minerals, especially quartz and calcite.
  • Mudstone flakes in sandstone. Mud flakes are present locally in the very basal portion of the non-calcareous sandstones.
