به خواندن ادامه دهیدIn carbonate rocks, detrital feldspars occur as a few scattered grains. Detrital feldspar content in clastic rocks decreases subsequent to deposition due to various diagenetic reactions, such as dissolution, alteration into clay minerals and replacement by calcite. Detrital feldspars are dominated by K-feldspar, albite, and Na-Ca plagioclase.
