Sedimentary Rocks
Detrital Rocks
Breccia- composed of re-consolidated angular fragments of gravel and/or sand size
sediments
Shale- sediment that the sediments are mostly clay size
Oil Shale- contains solid carbon and plant remains. Petroleum-like products can be
found in these rocks
Quartz Sandstone- composed of quartz grains cemented together by silica
Sandstone- sand sized sediments cemented together by calcite, silica, or iron oxides
Arkose- composed of quartz and feldspar sediments with smaller amounts of mica
Conglomerate- composed of water-worn gravel and sand sediments.
Chemical Rocks
Tufa- composed of calcium carbonate and is formed from ground water deposits
Rock Salt- crystalline and granular sediments of sodium chloride (salt) deposited from
evaporating seawaters
Travertine- form of limestone deposited in hot springs and primarily composed of
calcite
Dolomite- composed mostly of calcium magnesium carbonate and found layered with
limestone
Fossil Limestone- limestone formed from shell fragments deposited in swamp-like
areas
Gypsum Rock- formed from the anhydrite evaporating in water
Limestone- consists mostly of calcium carbonate, which will give off lime when burned
Organic Rocks
Bituminous Coal- consists of carbon- plant and animal remains- burns when heat is
applied
