101 Rock type - Sedimentary Sandstone (Emplaced 1808-1851)

This is by far the most interesting and most surprising rock type I have ever seen in a cemetery. Sedimentary sandstone predates the old marble headstones in southwestern Pennsylvania. Gravestones composed of sedimentary sandstone get one's attention in a cemetry because one suddenly sees an 1808-1846 burial and the stone looks like it was carved yesterday! This is in stark contrast to the marble gravestones nearby.The years of emplacement I have verified in Southwestern Pennsylvania are 1808-1846.
