Research has shown that it is not always very easy to identify sedimentary rocks with the naked eye. It has been stated that sedimentary rocks are porous and may contain small holes. Also, if one is to rub the rock and small grains tend to come off it might also be sedimentary.
What else can I help you with?
What clues or characteristics do you look for i n order to identify sedimentary rocks?
== == Sedimentary rocks may exhibit strata, or layering. Sandstones will have visible sand grains. Limestones will fizz when placed in vinegar. Fossils usually only appear in sedimentary rocks. A rock made of an assortment of other rocks is usually sedimentary.

What type of rocks are created as layer of sediment?
Sedimentary Rocks. Sedimentary rocks are created from stratification by the layering of materials on one another which then get compacted and cemented by sedimentation process over long period of time. The whole process of formation of sedimentary rocks from sediment is called Diagnesis. Examples of sedimentary rocks are limestone, chalk, and sandstone.
Which is not one of the three processes by which sedimentary rocks are formed?
The process of metamorphism is not one of the three processes by which sedimentary rocks are formed. Sedimentary rocks are typically formed through the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition. Metamorphism is a process that involves the alteration of existing rocks due to heat, pressure, and chemical reactions.
What rocks can be changed to metamorphic rocks?
Sedimentary,and Igneous.Metamorphic can change to either one of those.
What sedimentary gives info about past conditions of?
Sedimentary rocks are laid down one layer at a time. The layers give information on how the rocks formed.
Are there 2 facts about sedimentary rocks?
The two main features of sedimentary rocks are: They are formed into strata or layers. They consist of many palaentological evidences like fossils and coal.
How would you describe a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock is one of the three main rock groups (along with igneous and metamorphic rocks) and is formed in three main ways-by the deposition of the weathered remains of other rocks (known as clastic sedimentary rocks); by the deposition of the results of biogenic activity; and by precipitation from solution. Sedimentary rocks include common types such as chalk, limestone, sandstone, and shale. :)
