What is the primary basis for distinguishing among different chemical sedimentary rocks?
By composition, group, and method of lithification. Composition is what its made of, group is whether the rock has grain or layers--if yes, than its clastic, if no, than its chemical or organic--and method of lithification is whether is was formed from compaction, cementation......etc.
Particle size is the primary basis for distinguishing among various detrital sedimentary rocks?
