==Sandstone Maturity==
==Sandstone Maturity==
We can define the maturity of sandstone base on two different ways. Compositional maturity refers to relative abundance of stable and unstable framework grains.<ref name=Bogg>Boggs, Sam, Jr. 2011. Principles of Sedimentology and Stratigraphy: Fifth Edition. New Jersey: Pearson Prentice Hall.</ref> Mature sandstone contains abundant of quartz (quartz is resistance mineral see in bowen reaction series) whereas immature sandstone constain abundant of unstable minerals or rock fragments such as feldspar. Textural maturity determine by relative abundance of matrix and the degree of rounding and sorting of framework grains.<ref name=Bogg /> Texture maturity can range from immature (much clay, framework grains poorly sorted and poorly rounded) to supermature (little or no clay, framework grain well sorted well rounded).<ref name=Bogg /> Textural maturity show the degree of transportation and reworking of sediments, its reflect how far the sediments experience a sedimentary cycle, it may also be affected by diagenetic processes.
