Detrital clays can be part of sandstone matrix or grains. As matrix, detrital clays can obliterate permeability. Detrital grains of clay are often ductile and can be compacted into pore spaces during burial. The percentage of detrital clay in a rock determines permeability. [[:file:predicting-reservoir-system-quality-and-performance_fig9-63.png|Figure 4]] shows different types of detrital clays in a sandstone.
