Your question isn't quite clear to me. Rocks are made out of minerals. They can be made out of 1 or two or lots of minerals. The different percentages of minerals in a rock allow us to classify it and give it a name.

The compilation of rocks and minerals over time that we can use for relative age dating and biostratigraphy is called the rock record or a stratigraphic column.
