During а field survey оf а desert envirоnment, а geоlogy student collects a tan to reddish-brown rock that feels gritty to the touch. When rubbed, the sample leaves behind a fine sandy residue. The grains are cemented together but still easily visible, and the rock breaks apart along irregular surfaces rather than smooth layers. No fossil imprints are observed. The rock does not react with acid.
