psephite

Psephit

Psephite is the name for coarse sedimentary rocks with grain sizes above 2 mm. According to the geotechnical grain size classification, this corresponds to the peaks of gravel as well as conglomerates and breccias. The term can be used independently of material, H. Not only for clastic silicate rocks, but also for clastic carbonate rocks. However, the term lime psephite finds almost no use. In carbonpetrography, a limestone of this grain size is referred to as limestone. In the case of a metamorphosis, psephites receive the prefix meta-, they become metapsephites. The coarse-grained starting material comes from the mechanical destruction of other rocks. This happens, for example, by frost bombardment on rock walls and blocks, so that the fragments accumulate as rocky debris in debris or blockpiles. By means of transport, sharp-edged rock fragments are converted into rubble. In addition to the gross pseudo-psephite, finely divided pelites and medium-sized sedimentary rocks with a grain size of 0.02-2 mm are distinguished. Psephit ist die Bezeichnung für grobklastische Sedimentgesteine mit Korngrößen über 2 mm. Nach der geotechnischen Korngrößenklassifikation entspricht dies den Steingrößen von Kies sowie Konglomeraten und Brekzien. Der Begriff lässt sich materialunabhängig verwenden, d. h. nicht nur für klastische Silikatgesteine, sondern auch für klastische Karbonatgesteine. Allerdings findet der Begriff Kalkpsephit so gut wie keine Verwendung. In der Karbonatpetrographie wird ein Kalkstein dieser Korngröße als Kalkrudit bezeichnet. Im Fall einer Metamorphose erhalten Psephite die Vorsilbe Meta-, sie werden zu Metapsephiten. Das grobkörnige Ausgangsmaterial stammt aus der mechanischen Zerstörung anderer Gesteine. Dies geschieht zum Beispiel durch Frostsprengung an Felswänden und -blöcken, so dass die Bruchstücke sich als Fels-Schutt in Schutt- oder Blockhalden ansammelt. Durch Flusstransport werden scharfkantige Gesteinsbruchstücke in Gerölle umgewandelt. Neben dem grobklastischen Psephit unterscheidet man feinklastische Pelite und mittelklastische Sedimentgesteine, deren Korngrößen 0,02–2 mm betragen.
