What is Understanding Marl: Formation and Types about?
Marls are sedimentary rocks composed of carbonate and fine-grained siliciclastic sediments, primarily featuring calcite, clay minerals, and quartz. They form in calm water environments and exhibit properties of both limestones and mudrocks, with a tendency to break along planar surfaces. Classification of marls is based on the proportion of carbonate and siliciclastic components, which can be estimated in the field or observed in thin sections.
