What are sedimentary rock crystals?
In general, sedimentary rock crystals would be crystals that are found in sedimentary rocks. Normally they are calcite or quartz as they are the minerals most likely to cement sediments to form sedimentary rocks. There is a group of sedimentary rocks called evaporites that include crystals of salt, gypsum, sylvite, glauberite, thenardite, mirabilite and a few others. However, there is a tremendous variety of other minerals that can produce crystals in sedimentary rocks. Geodes from Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky can have crystals of barite, millerite, sphalerite, galena, fluorite, and aragonite. In other areas of the planet crystals of azurite and malachite can be found in sedimentary rocks. There are many, many other types of crystals that have been found in sedimentary rocks.
Does conglomerate have any crystals?
Well, Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock and sedimentary rocks are not crystalline in nature, but they do consist of mineral crystals such as Quartz.
What are rocks formed from small fragments called?
Clastic sedimentary rocks. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed when small sediment particles are compacted and cemented together. This happens when the sediments are glued together by tiny crystals or chemicals from fluids that have precipitated in the pores between the sediments.
Why do sedimentary and metamorphic rocks have bands of colors?
they have more crystals
Do sedimentary rock form from crystals solidifying from magma?
No. Those are igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks from from the acummulation and lithification of weathered material.
What type of sedimentary rocks for when crystals grow out of solution?
This thing is a sh
Sedimentary rocks composed of intergrown precipitated crystals are called?
Crystalline
How would you know the difference between igneous and sedimentary and metamorphic rock?
Sedimentary rocks tend to have layers. Igneous rocks tend to have crystals. If you don't see layers or crystals, the rock might be metamorphic.
What type of sedimentary rocks forms when crystals grow out of solution?
Chemical
Rocks made from layers of sediment composed of tiny rocks and shells are called?
Sedimentary rocks.
How is a sugar cube like a sedimentary rock?
A sugar cube looks like a sedimentary rock because, it has small and tiny particals such as those tiny crystals you see in a sugar cube. A sedimentary rock on the other hand, is composed of small sediments, like a sugar cube is composed of small particals and crystals.
What is formed from layers of tiny particles from weathered rocks?
Detrital sedimentary layers.
