As edimentary rock is one formed by the compression, de-watering (if a sea-floor or lake-floor deposit)and internal alteration of sediments such as sand, clay particles and precipitated minerals - including through biological concentrating in coral and shells. The alteration is a natural cementing of the grains by, especially,silica or calcium carbonate.
Examples: clay, limestone & chalk, sandstone.
