Abstract Conglomerate Irregular Matrix Mineral Pebble Polished Schmidt Section Sedimentary Sedimentary Rock Plate 4
EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 4, Figure 2: A Polished Section of Puddingstone from Mineralienbuch by F.A. Schmidt (1855) This illustration is a close-up view of Plate 4, Figure 2 from Mineralienbuch by F.A. Schmidt, published in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1855. The image showcases a polished section of puddingstone, a unique and intriguing sedimentary rock. Puddingstone, also known as breccia, is a conglomerate rock characterized by its irregular, rounded clasts or pebbles, which are set in a fine-grained matrix. The name "puddingstone" is derived from the English word "pudding," which refers to the rock's appearance, resembling a pudding with its distinct, rounded pebbles suspended in a fine-grained, often calcareous, matrix. The illustration provides a detailed view of the various components of this sedimentary rock. The larger, rounded pebbles, which can range from pebbles to boulders in size, are interspersed within the fine-grained matrix. The matrix itself is typically composed of calcareous material, such as limestone or chalk, and may contain minute fossils and other mineral inclusions. The polished section reveals the intricate textures and structures of the puddingstone, providing a glimpse into the geological processes that formed this fascinating rock. The irregular shapes and sizes of the pebbles suggest that they were transported and deposited in a watery environment, possibly during a catastrophic event such as a flood or a landslide. This illustration, a testament to the meticulous work of F.A. Schmidt, offers a unique perspective on the beauty and complexity of the natural world. It invites us to explore the intricacies of geology and the wonders of the Earth's history, while also showcasing the artistic skill and attention to detail of the illustrator.
