These small particles are known as clasts. If they are the remains of living things they may be known as bioclasts.
The remains of animals are called fossils if they have hardened and become preserved.

What Sedimentary rock is used in cement?
The sedimentary rock that is used in making cement is limestone. Cement, which is used in making concrete, is a mixture of marl and lime.
What is the difference between matrix and cement in rocks?
Matrix is the fine grained material in which larger crystals or clasts are embedded in rock of all types, whereas cement is precipitated mineral from fluids which binds large and small rock particles together in sedimentary rock.
Dissolved minerals separate from water and become a natural what that binds the sedimentary rock together?
cement
How are the fragments glued together in sedimentary rocks?
Minerals crystallize out from the water surrounding the grains and act as cement.
What does mudstone turn into if it is heated and squashed?
Well, after millions of years, the mud will start to cement together, due to natural cements and will form rock. This can result in footprints, fossils, animal remain, etc to be preserved in the rock. If u want a better explanation, there is a thing called Wikipedia...
Is it true that the small particles of rock or the remains of living things that make up sedimentary rocks are called cement?
yes they are
What is the name of the cementing chemical that holds the particles in a sedimentary rock together?
The 'cement' in clastic sedimentary rock is most often clay, iron, carbonate, or silicate minerals.
Is cement block a Sedimentary rock?
no, it's not a sedimentary rock
What type of dissolved minerals glue particles into one mass?
The minerals that precipitate from fluids to cement particles together to form sedimentary rocks could be calcite, quartz, clay, or iron minerals.
What Sedimentary rock is used in cement?
The sedimentary rock that is used in making cement is limestone. Cement, which is used in making concrete, is a mixture of marl and lime.
Sandstone is formed from tiny particles of sand cemented together Sandstone is?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock. it is formed by the consolidation and compaction of sand and held together by a natural cement, such as silica.
What is the difference between matrix and cement in rocks?
Matrix is the fine grained material in which larger crystals or clasts are embedded in rock of all types, whereas cement is precipitated mineral from fluids which binds large and small rock particles together in sedimentary rock.
What sedimentary rock is used to make cement?
Limestone is the sedimentary rock that is used to make cement. Some limestone is made of old coral reefs that have been buried by deposits.
Are all sedimentary rocks hardened by natural cement?
Perhaps.
What sedimentary rock is ground up to use in cement?
Limestone
How does a rock turn into a sediment?
All rocks are subject to erosion and dissolution. The result is particles that are small enough to be called, dust, sand or sediment. If these particles are squeezed over long periods of time, they may 'cement' together to form a 'sedimentary' rock that has its own structure and properties. Sandstone is a common type - stone made of cemented sand.
How can you decide if a rock is sedimentary igneous or metamorphic?
igneous is black and smooth metamorphic is magnetic and sedimentary is used as cement
