    Sandstone


    Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock with at least 50% sand grains, i.e., grains that, according to the general definition of sand grain size, are between 0.063 and 2 mm in size. The sand grains consist of various minerals, but mostly quartz.

    The Luxembourg Sandstone is a calcareous sandstone dating back to the Lower Black Jurassic period. It forms the near-surface geological substratum of large parts of Luxembourg, the so-called Ferschweiler Plateau, a plateau in the west of the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate, and the Bollendorf and Wißmanndorf Plateaus.
