Shales: formed from silt and clay that have hardened
to form rock.
Arenaceous: shale with large amounts of sand
argillaceous: shale with large amounts of clay
carbonaceous: shale with large amounts of coal
calcareous: shale with large amounts of limeand
calcium from shell life forms
sandstone: composed essentially of pressure-
cemented grains of sand (quartz)
conglomerate: composed of cemented pebbles intermixed
with sand
- if the grains are angular, the rock is
termed breccia.
- if the rock is a glacial deposit, it is called tillite.
Limestone: chemical sediment consisting primarily of
calcite (calcium carbonate)
dolomite: limestone in which some calcite has been
repla
- Sandstone: Formed from grains of sand compressed and cemented together.
- Limestone: Composed mainly of calcium carbonate from marine organisms like shells and coral.
- Shale: Made up of fine particles like clay and silt that have compacted over time.
Sandstone is a detrital sedimentary rock, composed of lithified particles of sand sized rock and mineral grains.
An example of a sedimentary rock is sandstone(clastic), coal(organic), or rock salt(chemical).
