They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Metamorphic rocks are classified by foliation or lack there of, not sedimentary rocks. They are classified into Clastic Sedimentary, and Chemical Sedimentary.
These are called "Sedimentary rocks
No. The rocks you describe are clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks.
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.

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.
Sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic.
There are three types of rocks: 1)Igneous Rocks 2)Sedimentary Rocks 3)Metamorphic Rocks
Metamorphic rocks are classified by foliation or lack there of, not sedimentary rocks. They are classified into Clastic Sedimentary, and Chemical Sedimentary.
the three major rocks are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock. igneous- volcanic rocks sedimentary- rocks with layers on top metamorphic- rocks that formed to another rock

Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have "morphed" into another kind of rock. These rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks.
