Sedimentary Rocks
Deposited on or Near Surface of Earth by Mechanical or Chemical Processes

Sedimentary Rocks are the Principal Repository for
Information About the Earth’s Past Environment

Environmental Clues in Sedimentary Rocks
• Grain Size - Power of Transport Medium
• Grading - Often Due to Floods
• Rounding
• Sorting
• Cross-bedding - Wind, Wave or Current Action
} Transport, Reworking

Environmental Clues in Sedimentary Rocks
• Fossils – Salt Water - Corals, Echinoderms – Fresh Water - Insects, Amphibians – Terrestrial - Leaves, Land Animals
• Color And Chemistry – Red Beds - Often Terrestrial – Black Shale - Oxygen Poor, Often Deep Water– Evaporites – Arid Climates

Bedding or Stratification• Almost Always Present in Sedimentary
Rocks • Originally Horizontal • Tilting by Earth Forces Later • Variations in Conditions of Deposition • Size of Beds (Thickness)
– Usually 1-100 Cm – Can Range From Microscopic to 50m

Sedimentary Rocks
Clastic Rocks• Made of Fragmentary
Material • Deposited by
– Water (Most Common)
– Wind – Glacial Action – Gravity
Biochemical Sedimentary Rocks
• Evaporation • Precipitation • Biogenic Sediments

Clastic Rocks
Classified by:
• Grain Size
• Grain Composition
• Texture

Sediment Sizes and Clastic Rock Types
Sedimentary rocks made of silt- and clay-sized particles are collectively called mudrocks, and are the most abundant sedimentary rocks.
Rock Type Sediment Grain Size
Shale Clay less than 0.001 mm
Siltstone Silt .001-0.1 mm
Sandstone Sand .01-1 mm
Conglomerate Gravel 1mm +

Some Special Clastic Rock Types
• Arkose Feldspar-Rich
• Breccia Angular Fragments
• Graywacke Angular, Immature Sandstone

Maturity
• Stability of Minerals
• Rock Fragments
• Rounding or Angularity
• Sorting
Removal of Unstable Ingredients - Mechanical Working

Diagenesis
Compaction
Cementing• Quartz • Calcite • Iron Oxide • Clay • Glauconite • Feldspar
Alteration• Limestone - Dolomite • Plagioclase – Albite
Recrystallization• Limestone

Chemical SedimentsEvaporites -Water
Soluble• Halite • Gypsum • Calcite PrecipitatesExample: Ca(sol'n) +
SO4 (Sol'n) = CaSO4 • Gypsum • Limestone • Iron Formations
Alteration After Deposition
• Dolomite Biogenic Sediments• Limestone - Shells,
Reefs, Etc. Organic Remains• Coal • Petroleum

Coal
• Delta, continental environments
• Carbonized Woody Material
• Often fossilized trees, leaves present

Plant Fragments Are Often Visible in Coal

Petroleum
A hydrocarbon molecule
What organisms make these?
Answer: None
![Page 20: Sedimentary Rocks 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/55cf8e4a550346703b90907c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Petroleum• Lots of organisms make these, however
• Fatty Acids
• Probable source: Marine plankton

Landforms Associated with Sedimentary Rocks
Mesa• Flat-topped hill capped
with hard rockCuesta• Gently-tilted layer of
hard rock: Door Peninsula
• The gentle upper slope, on top of the layer is called the dip slope
Hogback• A sharp ridge of hard
rock, edge of a steeply-dipping layer
