I’d like an example of how deep storm waves rework sediment up to 200 m deep, but generally reflect little net sand transport. Found this, assumed it was reworked by wind, but since the glauconite indicates a marine environment, I thought I’d take a chance and ask for more on this rock’s history. I’m assuming it was deposited in a nearshore environment (hence, sandstone) but thought you’d either have insight or suggestions.

Thanks,
Jenn

Glauconite is great, never to be confused with glaucophane, a bluish mineral.

So many green minerals…
