What is a rock made of layers that are cemented together?

Where would you expect to find the oldest sedimentary?
Main locations of sedimentary rock is at the bottom of a water source such as an ocean.As rivers flow to the sea, they may carry mud, sand, pebbles, and boulders along the way. The river drops this material, called sediment, into the sea. As layers of sediment build up over a period of many years, the great pressure of all these layers changes the sediment into sedimentary rock. Therefor you might be able to find sedimentary rock at the bottom of the ocean or a lake or river.
