rock formed of sediment, (conglomerate, sandstone, and shales formed of fragments of other rock transported from their sources and deposited in water) or by precipitation ( rock salt and gypsum), or organisms ( limestone)
A rock formed through the accumulation of sediment The sediment may be weathered materials from other sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic rocks transported by wind or water and deposited on land, by rivers or in the sea One sedimentary rock, limestone may be formed by the accumulation of shells or shell debris, or rarely by direct chemical precipitation from the sea-water The sediment may be cemented to varying degrees

Descriptive term for rock formed of sediment; clastic rocks, conglomerate, sandstone, shales, rocks formed by precipitation from solution as salt, gypsum, or from secretions of organisms as are most limestones
rock formed of fragments of other rocks that have been moved from its source and deposited in water, such as: shale, sandstone, or limestone Sedimentary rock often has a layered appearance
Descriptive term for rocks formed of sediment This includes clastic rocks such as conglomerate, sandstone, and shale formed from fragments of other rocks transported by the action of wind or water from their source The term also includes rocks formed by inorganic precipitation from solution such as gypsum and limestone, or from secretions from living organisms as in the case of some limestone
