Answer the following: 1- How might you identify a coal? (Hint: what is different about the density, porosity, and lightology of a coal vs. a shale or sandstone?) 2- How would you distinguish a sandstone from a limestone?

Explanation / Answer

•Density

coal-1.1 - 1.4

shale -2.4 - 2.8

and sandstone-2.2 - 2.8

•Porosity

1.Coal-0.8%

2.Shale-12.38%

3.Sandstone-17.31%

2. Limestone is the type of carbonate and contains calcite, aragonite and dolomite. Sandstone, on the other hand consists of sand sized debris and often includes quartz,feldspar, mica and shells.

From appearance Limestone does not have the stratification pattern and sandstone do has it. There are limestone composed of organic material which is clearly visible. Sandstone is formed from the breakdown of larger rocks due to weathering and erosion biologically.
