Sedimentary Rocks

Organic Sedimentary Rocks

Sedimentary Rocks form when sediment compacts and cements together

Chemical Sedimentary Rocks

Clastic Sedimentary Rocks

Organic Sedimentary rocks form from once living organisms ranging from plants to animals. EXAMPLE: Coquina

Chemical Sedimentary rocks form when seawater evaporates and crystallizes. EXAMPLE: Halite

Clastic Sedimentary rocks form when sediments are buried, then compacted and cemented. EXAMPLE: Shale
