又称: textural maturity · compositional maturity

Definition 21.5 University Earth and Space Sciences — Year 1 · 第 21 章 — Clastic Sediments and Their Environments

The textural maturity of a sand or sandstone measures how far the sorting, abrasion and winnowing of the current have worked on it, in four stages: immature, with more than 5 %5\,\% of clay matrix; submature, with less clay but poorly sorted grains (σ>0.5 φ\sigma > 0.5\,\varphi); mature, with little or no clay and well-sorted (σ<0.5 φ\sigma < 0.5\,\varphi) but angular grains; supermature, with no clay and grains both well sorted and well rounded. Its compositional maturity measures how far the unstable minerals and rock fragments have been removed, leaving quartz: it is high in a sandstone of nearly pure quartz and low in one rich in feldspar, mica or fragments of rock.
