... Panther Rocks is a small “rock city” made of a several large sandstone blocks. “Streets” in the rocks are vertical fractures called joints that have widened over time by frost- or icewedging. Overhangs, crevices, and a short tunnel have formed from an outcrop of medium- to coarse-grained sandstone. ...

Sedimentary Rock Identification

Igneous rocks form when magma rises from the mantle, cools, and hardens either below the Earth’s surface or on the surface. Sedimentary rocks are layered accumulations of mineral ...

ROCKS and how to identify them

Clastic rock
Clastic rocks are composed of fragments, or clasts, of pre-existing minerals and rock. A clast is a fragment of geological detritus, chunks and smaller grains of rock broken off other rocks by physical weathering. Geologists use the term clastic with reference to sedimentary rocks as well as to particles in sediment transport whether in suspension or as bed load, and in sediment deposits.
