Examples of lithology
lithology
A bed is defined as a layer of rock that has a uniform lithology and texture.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Converted-wave analysis is also used to determine subsurface lithology and porosity.

I Stratigraphy, lithology, volcanology and age of the Acahualinca section.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Unconsolidated surficial materials may also be given a lithology.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Its lithology is shale, mudstone, siltstone and minor sandstone.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Thus differences in lithology, grain size, and preexisting fabrics determine a different rheological response.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The naming of a lithology is based on the rock type.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The lithology is bluish grey dacitic tuff, which can be massive or foliated, also dacitic agglomerate and shale.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The predominant lithology consists of alternating uniform pillow basalts, massive flows and ash tuffs of similar composition.

- Petrology: the branch of geology that studies rocks: their origin and formation and mineral composition and classification
- The study of rocks, with particular emphasis on their description and classification; The general composition of a rock or rock sequence
- The description of rocks, especially in hand specimen and in outcrop, on the basis of such characteristics as color, mineralogic composition, and grain size.
- The branch of mineralogy that deals with the study of rocks and their composition. [Oil and Gas Journal; v91n13; 81-84; 1993.] [Dictionary of Science; R.K. Barnhart; page 364; 1986; Houghton Mifflin Company; Boston.] [Journal of Asian Earth Sciences; v41; 477-493: 2011; DOI:10.1016/j.jseaes. ...
- The physical character of a rock, including its color, mineralogic composition, and grain size.
- Type of bedrock; the kinds of rock comprising the substrate
- Lithology is the study of rocks. It is important for exploration and drilling crews to have an understanding of lithology as it relates to the production of gas and oil. Often, cuttings have to by analyzed to make important decisions about a well.
- Mineralogy, grain size, texture, and other physical properties of granular soil, sediment, or rock.
- The identification and study of rocks.
