Bedding Structure of Sedimentary Grey Sandstone (Honed)
The bedding structure of sedimentary grey sandstone honed is an important indicator of sedimentary genesis.
Common Structures
Typical sedimentary structures include:
Wave Marks
Mud Cracks
Rain Marks
Crystal Marks
Impressions
Deformed Structures
Deformed structures form either during sediment deposition or shortly after, while the sediment is still in a plastic state. These structures arise due to inorganic action before full consolidation and diagenesis.
A common example is the ball-pillow structure, which typically occurs in sandstone layers above argillaceous deposits. Characteristics include:
Sand layers breaking into spherical or pillow-shaped blocks
Block sizes ranging from a few centimeters to several meters
Structures appearing either as isolated formations or intermittently connected
Another example is the wrapping structure, a typical deformed structure. After the original layer undergoes deformation, it takes on a complex folded shape with the following characteristics:
Continuous structure without breaks or breccia
Stable thickness
Flat upper and lower levels
Chemical-Origin Structures
Chemical-origin structures are also commonly found in sedimentary grey sandstone honed. These structures form at different geological stages:
Some appear during the congenital or quasi-congenital stage
Most develop during the diagenetic or epigenetic stage
Formation methods vary, with some structures resulting from agglutination. A typical example is the nodule structure, characterized by:
Unique composition, structure, or color
Mineral collections distinctly different from the surrounding grey sandstone honed
