		Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-size mineral or rock grains.
		Most sandstone is composed of quartz and/or feldspar because these are the most common minerals in the earth's crust.
		Sandstones are clastic in origin (as opposed to organic, like chalk and coal, or chemical, like gypsum and jasper).

	Sandstone - LoveToKnow 1911
		In some of the cherty sandstones of the Greensand the chalcedonic cement is much more abundant: these rocks also contain rounded grains of glauconite, to which they owe their green colour.
		In Fontainebleau sandstone and some British Secondary rocks the calcite is in large crystalline masses, which when broken show plane cleavages mottled with small rounded sand grains; in the French rock external rhombohedral faces are present and the crystals may be of considerable size.
		Sandstones are very extensively worked, mostly by quarries but sometimes by mines, in all districts where they occur and are used for a large variety of purposes.

		The usual cementing material in sandstone is calcium carbonate, iron oxides, or silica, and the hardness of sandstone varies according to the character of the cementing material; quartz sandstones cemented with quartz are the hardest.
		Green sandstones often contain, in addition to sand and glauconite, fossil shells and iron oxides; those that break apart easily are known as greensands and are sometimes used to replenish depleted potash in soils.
		Sandstone may be crushed to the form of loose sand grains, which can then be put to the same industrial uses as sand.

		Sandstone is the youngest of the quartz-based stones, which eventually turns into quartzite as the sandstone is subjected to heat and pressure.
		Textures within the sandstone layers such as cross-bedding, ripple marks, and mud cracks, are clues to the origin of the layers as shallow, inter-tidal or delta sediments.
		Sandstone was a common building material for larger structures, before reinforced concrete came into use in the middle of late 1800's.

	Sandstone - MSN Encarta
		Sandstone, coarse-grained, sedimentary rock consisting of consolidated masses of sand deposited by moving water or by wind.
		The chemical constitution of sandstone is the same as that of sand; the rock is thus composed essentially of quartz.
		Sandstones of various geologic ages and of commercial importance are widely distributed in the U.S. Besides serving as a natural reservoir for deposits of oil and gas, sandstone is used in building flagstone pavings and in the manufacture of whetstones and grindstones.

		Sandstone is an arenaceous sedimentary rock composed mainly of feldspar and quartz and varies in colour (in a similar way to sand), through grey, yellow, red, and white.
		Sandstones are often relatively soft and easy to work which therefore make them a common building and paving material.
		The environment of deposition is crucial in determining the characteristics of the resulting sandstone, which on a finer scale include its grainsize, sorting, composition and on a larger scale include the rock geometry.

		This sandstone in Ohio is found east of a line drawn from Erie County in the north to Adams County in the south.
		The sandstone John Baldwin and his neighbors found in the 1830s was very near the surface in Berea, although as the stone formation moves south it dips at a rate of twenty feet to the mile.
		Once sandstone is removed from the ground and "cured" (that is, its water or "sap" is dried out) it becomes impervious to water, salt, or chemicals, making it superior to other types of building stone or man-made substances.

	Sandstone Summary
		Sandstone layers shaped into domes by folding or other processes (and overlaid by non-porous rock) act as traps for migrating oil and gas, that ascend into them but then have no way out.
		Another useful feature of sandstones is that they tend to record the surface conditions that prevailed when their sands were created and deposited.
		Fine grained aquifers, such as sandstones, are more apt to filter out pollutants from the surface than are rocks with cracks and crevices such as limestones or other rocks fractured from seismic activity.

		University buildings have sandstone walls that are laid up flat with the fractured face exposed beyond a common vertical wall line of mortar.

		Sandstone is an arenaceous sedimentary rock composed mainly of feldspar and quartz and varies in colour (in a similar way to sand), through grey, yellow, red, and white.Since sandstones often form highly visible cliffs and other rock formations, certain colors of sandstone may be stronglyidentified with certain regions.
		Sandstones are often relatively soft and easy to work which therefore make them a common building and paving material.
		The principle mechanism for the formation of sandstone is by the sedimentation of grains out of a fluid, such as a river, lake or sea.
