oolitic limestone......bc ooids.....just funky lil things (also i am a fan of almost any marine sediment....the fossils are cool okay)
in terms of minerals? depends. lab wise? quartz bc its easy to identify and the abundance of it can be a good indicator for a fair few rocks. memorability? orthoclase bc my geology lecturer referred to it as 'horse flesh' which my peers have told me is weird but its in my brain now!
Wish people would randomly send me pictures of their favorite rocks/minerals and tell me why it’s their favorite
#geology#honestly tho#not too many strong feelings on minerals#but i will cry if someone says they dont like oolitic limestone#also i think sedimentology gets a bad rep#people say its boring#n like yh sometimes it is#BUT#theres also so much cool stuff about paleoenvironments#and look if there was no boring sedimentey rock#then whats the ingeous stuff going to intrude?#what rocks are going to be metamorphosed?#people should be putting respect on sedimentologies name#>:[#rocks#minerals
