English: Quartzite in the Silurian of Virginia, USA. (looking east)
The Clinch Quartzite (a.k.a. Tuscarora Quartzite, Clinch Sandstone, Tuscarora Sandstone; Clinch Formation, Tuscarora Formation) generally consists of hard, well-cemented, quartzose sandstones and some quartz-pebble conglomerates. Commonly seen sedimentary features include cross-bedding and burrows. The quartz grains in the Clinch appear to have been recycled, probably several times during the Precambrian and Early Paleozoic. These sediments were deposited near the end of the Taconic Orogeny.
