Planar Laminated Sandstone

Laminated light yellow to yellow colored parallel laminated sl sandstone in the middle and plannar cross stratified grayish white sandstone sp at the top chandimura section on lalmai hills.

Planar laminated sandstone. The sedimentary structures which result are roughly horizontal units composed of inclined layers. C d wrinkly laminations interbedded with isolated planar. A laminated sandstone layer with tabular form interbedded with the cross stratified sandstone element ae1. The horizontally bedded sandstone represents a damp sand sheet the surface of which would have been covered by a microbial mat.

The term parallel lamination has also been used to describe laminae with parallel but nonplanar boundaries figure p11. However structures from several millimetres to many centimetres. B detail of wrinkled horizontal laminae. The sandstone is planar laminated and in some places ripples can be seen.

Sandstone beds are characterized by a peculiar planar lamination showing a subtle although perceptible undulation. Lamina that occurs in sedimentary rocks laminae are normally smaller and less pronounced than bedding lamination is often regarded as planar structures one centimetre or less in thickness whereas bedding layers are greater than one centimetre. Covered with a thin layer of plastic to protect it. In geology lamination is a small scale sequence of fine layers laminae.

Typically the undulation shows no evidence of lateral accretion but only vertical aggradation and as a result most beds consist of a single laminaset. The planar laminated sandstone represents a dry sand sheet the surface of which would have been covered by granule wind ripples and climbing wind ripples. Planar laminated sandstone ae2 and extensive flat bedded sandstone dominated by wrinkly laminae ae3 architectural elements. Micaceous particles would fall more slowly owing to their shape thus aggregating on bedding.

Alternating episodes of deposition from high energy winds and. The depositional environment for this unit was slow settling i e fallout without traction. In geology cross bedding also known as cross stratification is layering within a stratum and at an angle to the main bedding plane. The original depositional layering is tilted such tilting not being the result of post depositional deformation cross beds or sets are the groups of inclined.

The origin of planar lamination in sands and sandstones. Hence planar lamination has also been called horizontal lamination even lamination and parallel lamination. Planar laminated sandstones popularly known.
