Abstract
Methods and tools to identify a type of sedimentary system from an XRD pattern. The method includes applying x-rays to a sample to obtain diffraction pattern data, and calculating a March-Dollase preferred orientation factor of a crystallographic plane of the sample based on the diffraction pattern data. The method further includes classifying the calculated March-Dollase preferred orientation factor to identify a type of clastic sedimentary system corresponding to the sample. A rapid sediment analyzer tool includes an X-ray diffraction device and an application having a March-Dollase preferred orientation factor calculator and a classifier. The display device is configured to display the identified type of clastic sedimentary system.
