They have been formed throughout geological time since the Earth had cooled sufficiently to form a solid crust, and for its load of water to condense and form rivers and seas. It's a continuing process. For all the older rock being eroded in one place, new sedimentary rock is being formed elsewhere.

What rock type are most common at earths surface?
Sedimentary Rocks. 75% of rocks exposed to the surface are sedimentary. Basalt is the most common type of rock and it is igneous.
What type of rocks can contain fossils on them?
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks formed when they undergo?
Sedimentary rocks form when they undergo metamorphism. Only if they decide NOT to be Sedimentary rocks anymore.

What is the or-gin of sedimentary rocks?
weathering of preexisting rocks form clastic sedimentary rocks, Oversaturated water basins form chemical sedimentary rocks after the water evaporates and dead sea organisms settle at the bottom forming biochemical sedimentary rocks.
