A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments, that is particles of preexisting rocks that have been broken down by weathering process and transported to new locations by water, ice or wind. The sediments accumulate over time as layers deposited parallel to the Earth's surface and, as they become buried by overlying deposits, they harden to form rock - sedimentary rock. During their deposition process, they may include burrows, shells or bones of living creatures and these become fossils as the sediments harden.
