Classification of Sedimentary Rocks Part 1: Terrigenous/Siliciclastic Rocks
We now know what sedimentary rocks are, but how do we classify them? We have to discuss three broad categories of sedimentary rock, and the first of these are terrigenous or siliciclastic rocks. These are rocks composed of clasts, or...
