Grain shape - reflects the degree of abrading during transport, length of transport, and resistance to weathering and abrasion. Particle sizes for the classification of detrital rocks Conglomerate - clastic rock in which the fragments are larger than 2 mm in size; fragments have rounded sides and corners.

Gypsum is a soft sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4·2H2O). It is commonly found in sedimentary rock formations and is often associated with other minerals such as anhydrite, halite, and sulfur. The name "gypsum" is derived from the Greek word "gypsos," which means "plaster" or "chalk.".

Diatomite is a sedimentary rock with many uses. It is made up of the siliceous skeletal remains of diatoms, which are tiny single-celled algae. Diatomite is crushed into a powder known as "diatomaceous earth". It is lightweight, porous, relatively inert, and has a small particle size along with a large surface area.

Gypsum as a rock type is an aggregate of gypsum crystals. Gypsum is an evaporite and is usually associated with other evaporite minerals like halite and anhydrite. Gypsum occurs in different forms: massive alabaster, fibrous satin spar, selenite crystals. Gypsum is an important industrial mineral. It is used mostly in the construction industry.^

Feldspar alters to clay with chemical weathering and erosion, so arkose, which is sandstone with more than 25% feldspar, indicates the sediment was deposited close to the source rock and was not in transport long.

Clastic Texture Properties. Clastic sedimentary rocks are ones made of sediment or broken pieces (clasts or fragments) of other rock. Clasts can range in size (fine to coarse), shape (rounded or angular), and sorting (variation in grain size). If you think a rock has this texture, then you can describe it just like clastic sediment.

Grain Shape. The general shape of the individual clasts within a sedimentary rock is also a good method to determine the type of geologic environment that may have deposited the sediment long ago.

Grain Size. Detrital rock is classified according to sediment grain size, which is graded from large to small on the Wentworth scale (see figure).Grain size is the average diameter of sediment fragments in sediment or rock. Grain sizes are delineated using a logbase-2 scale [9; 10].For example, the grain sizes in the pebble class are 2.52, 1.26, 0.63, 0.32, …
