Abenezer Bekele Sedimentary Rocks (Lab 4) Answer Sheet 1.
Which of the following are terrigenous sedimentary rocks? Highlight them or delete the ones that are not terrigenous. Black shale Arkose Intraclastic limestone Diatomite Rock gypsum Quartz conglomerate Oolitic limestone Red sandstone Lignite Graywacke Chert Bituminous coal 2.
Describe each of the following: Chalk: reacts with HCL________________________________________ Kaolin form of clay mineral
_______________________________________ Diatomite _Does not Fizz Coming in Contact ____________________________________ 3.
Compare Shale vs. Claystone: Cleavage refers to the way a rock breaks. Shale has fissile cleavage, meaning it splits easily into thin layers, whereas claystone does not have this property and breaks into more blocky pieces. 4.
