Description

Episode 18 begins with the Intros and Hellos and we test out our new segment called 'the Triple Junction.' This is where we get a chance to talk about Fanfare, Feedback and Follow-Ups. New News never disappoints and includes Venomous Primates, Dialects of the Naked Mole Rat, Panda Kinks, and Wombat's Cubed Dooks. 
The main discussion continues along with our broader conversation that we have been having over the past few episodes over sedimentary basins, depsotional environments, and sedimentary facies. For this episode in particular, we focus in on the Composition and Classification of Siliciclastic Sedimentary Rocks in the form of Sandstones. We cover all aspects of the Silly Sandstones from their Framework Mineralogy (primary and accessory minerals), Matrix Composition, Maturity, and then put a face to the name or rather classify the Sandstones as either Arenites or Wackes and describe each in detail. 
Between the bars of our main discussion is another Mineral Minute, sponsored by the fluorororororo mineral, Fluororichterite. Lastly, we close things out discussing some of the most overrated bands in this week's That Freaking Rocks.
Remember To Be Cool, Stay Tuned, and Keep It On The Rocks!
