40mm Sandstone Paving: Composition & Formation

1. Composition & Characteristics

• 40mm sandstone paving is primarily composed of detrital quartz and feldspar.
• Feldspar content can be significantly high, including orthoclase, plagioclase, and acid plagioclase.
• The color is often red or yellow, influenced by the parent rock’s mineral composition.

2. Formation Process

• Requires feldspar-rich parent rocks such as granite and granite gneiss.
• Formation is influenced by tectonic activity, paleogeography, and paleo-climatic conditions.
• In regions with strong tectonic movements and granite basement uplifts, heavy erosion leads to thick sandstone deposits.

Detrital 40mm Sandstone Paving

1. Composition & Variability

• Composed mainly of quartz and lithic fragments.
• Lithic sandstone varies in composition depending on the parent rock.
• Common feldspar types include plagioclase and potassium feldspar, but may also contain unstable basic plagioclase.

2. Appearance & Formation

• Typically darker in color, such as gray, gray-green, and gray-black, while lighter-colored varieties are rare.
• Formed in depression zones or basins near structural uplift areas due to rapid erosion and accumulation of parent rock fragments.
• Can originate from both terrestrial and marine environments.
