Petrographic classifications of sand and sandstone proposed more than half a century ago
are still in use, although they were formulated at a time when depositional and post …

The practice of using the youngest detrital grains from a sedimentary deposit to constrain its
depositional age has grown rapidly over the past two decades. Researchers that use the …

Detrital framework modes of sandstone suites from different kinds of basins are a function of
provenance types governed by plate tectonics. Quartzose sands from continental cratons …

Detrital modes of sandstone suites primarily reflect the different tectonic settings of
provenance terranes, although various other sedimentological factors also influence …

Abstract Framework modes of terrigenous sandstones reflect derivation from various types of
provenance terranes that depend upon plate-tectonic setting. Triangular QFL and QmFLt …

The Portscatho Formation, within the allochthonous unit of the Middle and Upper Devonian
Gramscatho Group, is a thick sequence of deep-water sandstones and interbedded slates …

Provenance interpretations can be used in conjunction with other evidence to test alternate
