Question 5 1 pts cementation is an important part of the diagenetic process. from the list of minerals below, pick two minerals that are commonly found as cements. biotite mica k-feldspar □ quartz/silica □ kyanite calcite

The two minerals that are found in cement are : Silica and calcite.

Explanation:

Different minerals form the composition of cement but the minerals that are most commonly found in cement are calcite which is contained in the limestone.

The other mineral that is used in the production of cement is silica in the form of raw rock type used to make cement which is found in clay. So they form an important part of formation of cement.
