There are different ways sedimentary rocks are formed. Many sedimentary rocks are made from the broken pieces and particles of other rocks, [which is a reason why the name was given to these types of rocks (sediment)] and these bits get cemented together. These types of sedimentary rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks are another type that comprise of mineral crystals, like gypsum and halite. Lastly, organic sedimentary rocks are made of, well...... organic materials. They are made of the remains of once living organisms and contain the remains of living creatures such as clam shells, plankton skeletons, dinosaur bones, and plants.
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.

No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
No, sedimentary rocks are not classified as foliated. Foliation is a textural feature found in certain types of metamorphic rocks where minerals are aligned in layers or bands due to pressure and heat. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation and cementation of sediments and do not exhibit foliation.

== == Clastic sedimentary rocks.
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks
They are mostly found in Sedimentary Rocks
