- Because their mineralogy varies so much, we generally classify clastic rocks based on grain size rather than composition. Grain size varies from huge clasts and boulders in gravels and conglomerates, to fine “clay size” (<0.004 mm) particles in muds and shales.

Grain size - Geology is the Way
Grain size is the average diameter of clasts (particles) of clastic sediments and rocks. Grain size is the primary parameter in sedimentary geology to divide clastic rocks and sediments in different classes for classification purposes.
