Kurkar is the regional name for an aeolian quartz sandstone with carbonate cement, [3] in other words an eolianite or a calcarenite (calcareous sandstone or grainstone), found on the Levantine coast of the Mediterranean Sea in Turkey, [3] Syria, Lebanon, Israel, [4] the Gaza Strip [5] and northern Sinai Peninsula.

As sandstones, these are known as lithic sandstones. Arc sands plot along the F and L line, with sometimes significant Q components. Clustering near the F pole indicates a dissected arc, and clustering near the L pole indicates an undissected, or new arc. As sandstones, these are known as arkoses and/or lithic sandstones.

Zircon age‐spectra for the sandstones of the Wilcox Group reveal a complex grain assemblage derived from Laramide uplifted crystalline blocks of the central and southern Rocky Mountains, the Cordilleran arc of western North America, and arc‐related extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks of northern Mexico.
As others before him, Folk proposed a classification for sandstones based on the relative abundances of quartz (Q), feldspars (F), and rock fragments (R). These are the main poles of the classification diagram. To define the clan name one must normalize the sum of abundances of quartz, feldspars and rock fragments to 100%.
Overlying the Harthill Sandstone Formation, the Group comprises around 775 metres thickness of mudstones with some subordinate sandstones. Some burrows and bioturbation are present. The uppermost unit is the early Ordovician Merevale Shale Formation, a mudstone with some dolomitic beds .
Lithic fragments, or lithics, are pieces of other rocks that have been eroded down to sand size and now are sand grains in a sedimentary rock.They were first described and named (in their modern definitions) by Bill Dickinson in 1970. [1]
