Feldspar-rich varieties of this rock are called "arkose". Classifications of this rock work from QFL diagrams, which often include an extra dimension for the percent of matrix, which must be at most 75%, to broadly divide them into "arenite" or "wacke".

A prominent example of cross-bedding can be found in the walls of this rock at Zion Canyon. "Spiral rock arches" of this rock are famously found in Antelope Canyon. When a type of this rock undergoes metamorphosis, it forms quartzite, and after (*) shale, it is the most abundant sedimentary rock. The namesake of this rock is a granular material whose grain size is larger than silt but smaller than a pebble. For 10 points, name this rock that is made up of material that one finds at the beach.
