Sedimentary rocks may have clastic (detrital) or non-clastic texture. Clastic sedimentary rocks are composed of grains, fragments of pre-existing rocks that have been packed together with …

There are three main types of sedimentary rocks that differ based on their composition and process of formation. 1. Clastic Sedimentary Rocks (also called detrital sedimentary rocks) …

Clastic sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and lithification of mechanical weathering debris. Examples include: breccia, conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, and shale. Chemical …

When the transporting agent (whether it be water, wind, or ice) slows or melts, the particles in transport settle and accumulate. Such sediment, consisting of broken fragments of preexisting …

Clastic sedimentary rock (also called ‘detrital’ sedimentary rock) consists of sediment pieces (clasts/rock detritus) that come from weathered bedrock, cemented together to make a new …

Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed by compaction and cementation of clasts composed of individual mineral grains or pieces of rock. Because their mineralogy varies so much, we …

The characteristics and distinguishing features of clastic sedimentary rocks are summarized in Table 6.2. Mudrock is composed of at least 75% silt- and clay-sized fragments. If it is …
