Assignment Task: Use the following sources to help answer the question:
1) Kimberly Schulte, Fundamentals of Geology - Sedimentary Rocks (Textures).
2) Alessandro Grippo, Introduction to Sedimentary Rocks - Textures.
Question:
Q1) How can you tell if a sedimentary rock has siliciclastic/detrital texture and not chemical/biochemical texture (assuming only using simple rock and mineral identification tools)? You can compare the information in Schulte's book and Grippo's book.
Q2) Make a checklist of the key characteristics of the textures in siliciclastic/detrital sedimentary rocks.
