Detrital sedimentary rock consists of the cemented-together fragments of minerals and other rocks, primarily clay, quartz, feldspar, and mica. The most abundant detrital sedimentary rock is shale, a crumbly rock made of extremely fine, microscopic-sized particles.xposed rock is the collector's fruitful ground. Many interesting minerals and fossils can be found on weathered slopes, riverbanks, and cliff faces. Human-made excavations such as road cuts and construction or quarry sites can be excellent sites for mineral hunting.

Alginic acid, also called algin or alginate, is an anionic polysaccharide distributed widely in the cell walls of brown algae, where through binding with water it forms a viscous gum. Its colour ranges from white to yellowish-brown. It is sold in filamentous, granular or powdered forms. major application for sodium alginate is in reactive dye printing, as thickener for reactive dyestuffs (such as the Procion cotton-reactive dyes) in textile screen-printing and carpet jet-printing.
