Sedimentary rock - these are usually recognisable by their layers.
Other types of rock include:
Igneous rock - formed when magma cools, recognisable by their crystals scattered inside
Metamorphic rock - rock which has been pressurised and heated, altering it.

What are cast fossils?
One form of fossil forms when an organism dies and its body is covered by layers of sediment. As time passes, the organism itself, particularly when composed primarily of softer materials, is eroded and carried away, leaving a negative imprint of its body. This type of fossil is called a mold. A cast fossil forms when a mold fossil is filled with some form of mineral, usually through the seepage of water depositing the minerals within the mold. In time, the mold is filled and the materials deposited harden, creating a replica of the original fossil. This is called a cast fossil.
Why do materials come in stock forms?
Materials come in stock forms so companies can keep stock on hand for when consumers and retailers need them. It also allows retailers to keep the most popular styles, colors, and quantities on-hand and simplifies re-ordering. Stock forms allow companies to keep prices down since orders for custom stock would cost more.
