257: 145:, forming sedimentary rocks such as sandstone. These rocks can then in turn again be weathered and eroded to form a second generation of sediment. Detrital grains commonly weather at different rates, according to the 298: 242: 129:(particles of recognisable rock), or of monomineralic fragments (mineral grains). These particles are often transported through 149:, which dictates that early crystallizing minerals are less stable at the Earth's surface than late crystallizing minerals. 17: 291: 133:
