| Preferred Labelskos:prefLabel | lithic detrital mode |
|---|---|
| Definitionskos:definition | Sandstone petrographic composition term indicating that detrital mode for clastic rock (Q-F-L) includes less than 75 percent quartz and the lithic to feldspar ratio is greater than 3 to 1. This corresponds to the litharenite field of Folk (1968). Because the mineralogy of the lithic fragments is not constrained, the mineralogical composition is largely independent of the detrital mode composition for this class. |
