Best Answer

A sedimentary rock can be reformed by metamorphosis, melting, erosion and relithification, amongst other things. The re-formation would consist of the destruction of the original rock, which would then be reassembled. For example if there is a sandstone, which was then weathered and eroded, then buried and lithified, you would say it had been re-formed.
