Greywackes are mostly grey, brown, yellow, or black, dull-colored sandy rocks that may occur in thick or thin beds along with shales and limestones. Some varieties include feldspathic greywacke, rich in feldspar, and lithic greywacke, rich in other tiny rock fragments.

Graywacke is a variety of impure sandstones and is generally characterized by its hardness, dark color, and poorly sorted angular grains of quartz, feldspar, and small rock of lithic fragments set in a compact fine clay and muddy matrix (Figs 5.26 (B), 5.31 and 5.32).

1 lut 2023 · This dataset illustrates that both greywackes (86%) and HEBs (82%) occur most commonly in deep-marine environments. Greywackes (48%) and HEBs (37%) of Paleozoic and Cenozoic age respectively dominate in the complied database.
30 paź 2024 · Wacke, or graywacke, is the name applied to generally dark-coloured, very strongly bonded sandstones that consist of a heterogeneous mixture of rock fragments, feldspar, and quartz of sand size, together with appreciable amounts of mud matrix. Almost all wackes originated in the sea, and many were deposited in deep water by turbidity currents.
11 lis 2019 · Greywacke is also known as mixed sandstone or grey sandstone. It includes a variety of sandstones characterised by their hardness and dark colour. Greywacke forms due to diagenesis and primary metamorphism of angular lithic fragments and quartz and feldspar grains.
