    This lab focuses on identifying various types of sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks form through lithification of sediments and are classified as clastic, chemical, or organic based on their formation process. The lab contains samples of 10 different sedimentary rocks including shale, coal, breccia, limestone, and dolostone. Students are asked to examine physical features of the rocks like grain size, mineral composition, and fossil content to determine the rock type and depositional environment.

    Introduction/Purpose

     This lab is intended to familiarize the student with various samples of sedimentary rock.
     Sedimentary rocks come in 3 basic varieties:
     The first is known as clastic rocks, these rocks are formed when inorganic sediment is
    transported, deposited, and processed by lithification (cementation and compaction).
     Chemical sedimentary rocks form when materials that are carried in solution precipitate
    (water evaporates or is removed).
     A third subtype, usually classified under chemical rocks, is known as organic or
     biochemical. These rocks form when material (skeletons) from organisms that were once
    living deposit and come together to form sedimentary rock.
     There are several processes affected on sedimentary rocks during diagenesis. This
    phenomenon should be dealt with it carefully.

    Material

    Rocks:-
     Shale
     Coal
     Breccia
     Limestone
     Dolostone
     Sandstone
     Conglomerate
     Halite
     Acid

    Question

    1. Sedimentary rocks are classified according to the type of grain size that make up the rock.
    2. Sedimentary rocks that are made from particles of sediments are called clastic rocks.
    3. Sedimentary rocks that are made from remains of animal and debris are called biological rocks.
    4. Name the five processes: Weathering and erosion, transporting, deposition, compaction,
    cementation.
    5. Name 2 clastic rocks: conglomerate, sandstone.
    6. Name 2 organic rocks: chalk, coal.
    7. Name 2 chemical rocks: chert, rock salt.
