What do pieces of sediment that have been pressed and cemented together form?
Sedimentary rock.
What does the word sediment mean and how does it relate to sedentary?
Sediment natural material the has broken down and been carried by a fluid. The mud at the bottom of river is sediment. Sedimentary rock, for example, is rock formed by the compression of mud.Sediment and sedentary share the Latin root sedere, which means 'to sit'. Sediment settles or sits at the bottom of bodies of water, and some one is is sedentary is seated a lot.
Would you expect to find a well preserve dinosaur bone in a metamorphic rock like schist?
NO, a metamorphic rock is a new rock formed when existing rockes are spueezed or heated. If you were to find a dinosaur bone in a rock it would be a sedimentary rock, which is a rock formed by layers of sediment, Which means a dinousar bone could of been on top of a layer of sediment and another layer of sediment went on top of that, formed a rock that had a dinosaur bone in it.
By what process does sediment become sedimentary rock?
As rock particles and organic matter are eroded to a place of deposition and are covered by additional particles, eventually the weight from above will start the process of lithification. Lithification is the compaction and cementation of particles which form rock. Compaction squeezes out the fluids and space that exist between the particles, and cementation results when the fluids that are squeezed out are replaced with minerals that were in the fluids. Once cementation occurs, the new sedimentary rock has been formed. Rocks formed in this manner include sandstone, shale, mudstone, breccia, and conglomerate and are called clastic sedimentary rocks.Heat and Pressure

How does metamorphic turns to sedemantary?
Sedimentary rock is rock that has been worn away and turned into sediment such as sand. That sediment is then compacted together and turned into rock. So metamorphic rock wears away and compacts into sedimentary rock
