Mention the minerals found in sedimentary rocks
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 5 years, 6 months ago

Most sedimentary rocks contain either quartz (especially siliciclastic rocks) or calcite (especially carbonate rocks). In contrast to igneous and metamorphic rocks, a sedimentary rock usually contains very few different major minerals. Thus the most important minerals in clastic sedimentary rocks are quartz, potassium feldspar (microcline and orthoclase), plagioclase, clays, and oxides/hydroxy-oxides (hematite, limonite, goethite).
