Detrital - composed of erosional fragments of other rocks
There are three aspects to the detrital texture.
Size, sorting, and shape of mineral grains
coarse grained - individual grains are greater than
2mm in grain size
Angular grains - the rock name is breccia

Round Grains - the rock name is conglomerate

Medium size grains between 2mm and 1/16 mm in grain size.
These are sand size grains and the rock is called sandstone.
We can go further.....
The mineral grains are pure quartz - the rock name is quartz sandstone

the mineral grains are quartz and feldspar the rock name is arkose.

The rock is composed of quartz and rock fragments - the rock name is graywacke.

Fine grains - individual grains are less tha 1/16mm in grain size.
The rocks are collectively called shale.
