0 a type of rock that is made of sand or particles (= small pieces) similar to sand:
Many of the island's rocks have been identified as relatively quartz-rich arenites.
Arenite is a sedimentary rock.
Most of these sedimentary rock fragments are coarse arenites or fine diamictites.
The composition of the arenites is given in Table 2.
Arenite is a sedimentary clastic rock with sand grain size between 0.0625 mm (0.00246 in) and 2 mm (0.08 in).
In sections from a proximal position relative to the palaeo-shoreline, the lower parts of this limestone are dolomitized and contain thin intercalations of quartz arenite.
Beds of very fine to very coarse, rarely gravelly, sandstone (volcanic lithic arenite) and mudstone dominate the succession with subordinate beds of lithic and vitric tuff.
Beds of very fine to very coarse, sandstone (volcanic lithic arenite) and mudstone dominate the succession with a bed of lithic and vitric tuff occurring at one horizon.
Beds of very fine to very coarse, rarely gravelly, sandstone (volcanic lithic arenite) and mudstone dominate the succession with beds of lithic and vitric tuff occurring at two horizons.
The term quartzose sandstone can also be used for a quartz arenite.
