Technically rocks are not sediments, rather sediments are derived from weathered rock material. These sediments may conslidate and form rocks such as sandstones and mudstones, which include shales and siltstones. This variety of rock types is of sedimentary origin. Other types of rocks are formed by igneous and or metamorphic processes.
