Clastic (or detrital): Sedimentary rock formed from particles of other sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rock which has been weathered, eroded, deposited, compacted and cemented. Examples of clastic sedimentary rock include shale, sandstone, mudstone, and conglomerate.
Chemical: Chemical sedimentary rocks have intergrown mineral crystals that are precipitated from saturated aqueous solutions and chemical residues. The precipitated minerals that are commonly included are halite, quartz, limonite, calcite, chert, dolomite, hematite, and gypsum; consequently, common chemical rocks are limestone, chert, and rock gypsum.
Organic:
Organic sedimentary rock is rock that is derived or generated from sediments that are produced by organisms. Coal and chalk are examples of organic sedimentary rock.

What types of minerals are clastic sedimentary rocks made of?
Clastic sedimentary rocks are made of broken pieces of preexisting rock that are compacted together. The mineral quartz makes up sixty percent of the clastic sedimentary rocks.

How do geologist classify sedimentary rocks?
They are classified as clastic or non-clastic. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from rock particles of various sizes. Non-clastic rocks are formed from precipitation of minerals out of solution or by the lithification of organic matter.
Is gneiss clastic organic or chemical?
None of the above. These terms describe sedimentary rocks. Granite is igneous.
Are sedimentary rocks classified tofoliated sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are classified by foliation or lack there of, not sedimentary rocks. They are classified into Clastic Sedimentary, and Chemical Sedimentary.
