Sedimentary Rocks• 95% of the Earth’s volume is igneous and
metamorphic rocks but 75% of the Earth’s surface is covered by sediments or sedimentary rocks.
• Derived from pre-existing rocks:– 1. detrital/clastic rocks: mineral grains or rock
fragments (mechanical or biological weathering)
– 2. chemical: dissolved & precipitated minerals (chemical weathering).

• Ex: granite: Quartz + Fs + Biotite
• Weathering: Mech/bio
quartz sand clays
• Transport– River, wind, ice
• Deposition– Beach delta ocean
• lithification – Cemented
• Rock sandstone shale

Terminology• Precipitation: opposite of dissolve:
aqueous to solid
• lithification: materials are compacted and/or cemented together to form rock.
• Rounded: angular fragments become rounded (& smaller) through abrasion as they are transported

• Deposition: ice, wind, or water deposit/drop sediment in river bed, moraine, lake, beach, ocean, etc.
• Facies: a distinct sediment or rock type
• Sorting: process by which particles are separated according to size (& density)– Clay with clay– Sand with sand– Gravel with gravelWater & wind are excellent sorters, ice is poor

• Compaction: weight of overlying sediment compresses sediments, forces water out and “glues”/lithifies mud siltstone & shale
• Cementation: weathered silica, calcite and iron oxides dissolved in water precipitate in pore spaces to cement/lithify particles together.
• Friable: rock is easily crumbled (like dry cake)

Limestone: accumulation of billions of skeletons of corals,shellfi`sh,algae, etc.
• Originally as aragonite which alters to calcite.
• Forms:– Massive: shells broken and ground into
powder before lithification– Sugary = crystalline– Coquina (KD)= cemented broken shells– Chalk = soft, microscopic fossils

Chert: forms 2 ways:i) silica rich waters percolate up through earth replacing the Lst in the form of nodules, a bulbous mass of chalcedony (“elephant man”)ii) organisms (sponges, diatoms) that use silica for skeletons die; the silica accumulates on the ocean floor to form bedded chert (usually grey).

Coal: form in the process
i) land plants accumulate in swamps, bogs low in pH and low in O2 to prevent bacterial decay of organic matter (OM).
ii) The OM accumulates to form peat.
iii) heat + time drives off the volatiles (H2, N2 & O2) leaving C to form coal
