Sand composition is also sensitive to other factors involved in the clastic sediment system (Johnsson, 1993), and valuable information about climate, relief and transport can be obtained from the framework composition of sandstones.

The stratigraphic record is dominated by thick submarine slope and fan deposits reflecting rift basin formation and influxes of large volumes of clastic sediment, including carbonate debris, from uplifted rift shoulders.

The accumulation rates of non-carbonate, inorganic clastic sediment, which may be a more accurate indicator than bulk sediments of watershed soil export, increased dramatically in these lakes following anthropogenic impact.

At the nearby Fort William and Fort Scott open pits, where over 100,000oz have been produced to date, gold is hosted within sheared units of volcanics and clastic sediments.

The mineralogical and chemical composition of clastic sediments provides information important to interpret the provenance, tectonic setting and the complex interplay of weathering, recycling, hydraulic sorting during transportation and deposition and the post-depositional alteration (Lacassie et al., 2004; Ohta and Arai, 2007; Armstrong-Altrin, 2009; Hossain et al., 2010; Tao et al., 2014; Zhang, 2014; Zaid, 2015; Tawfik et al., 2017).

Fine grained clastic sediments are deposited primarily from the suspension load of rivers.
