What is a detrital sedimentary rock made up of clay-sized particles that require no cementation to hold together?
A detrital sedimentary rock made up of clay-sized particles that require no cementation to hold together is called shale. Shale forms from the compaction of clay minerals without the need for additional cementing materials.
How are detrital chemical and biochemical sedimentary rocks different?
Detrital rocks are composed of rock particles, chemical sedimentary rocks are composed of precipitated minerals.Examples:Detrital or clastic rocks:ConglomerateBrecciaSandstoneShaleChemical sedimentary rocks:Rock saltSome limestonesRock gypsumWhat_is_the_difference_between_detrital_and_chemical_sedimentary_rock
Is mudstone a Metamorphic rock?

How can coquina be classified?
Coquina can be classified as a sedimentary rock that is composed predominantly of fragmented shell and coral debris. It is primarily made up of calcium carbonate and forms in marine environments where these fragments accumulate and are cemented together.

A sedimentary rock made up of rounded fragments of other rocks is called a conglomerate.
