Sedimentary rocks are rocks formed by the compaction or and cementation, along with some chemical alteration of sediments. There are four main categories of sedimentary rocks: clastic, organic, chemical, and evaporites. Limestone, a chemically precipitated sedimentary rock is formed by the compaction and lithification of the shells from marine organisms. Sandstone, is formed by the compaction of quartz grains.
