∙ 11y ago
Detrital rocks are composed of rock particles, chemical sedimentary rocks are composed of precipitated minerals.
Examples:Detrital or clastic rocks:
- Conglomerate
- Breccia
- Sandstone
- Shale
Chemical sedimentary rocks:
- Rock salt
- Some limestones
- Rock gypsum

∙ 10y agoDetrital: A sedimentary rock composed of lithified sedimentary particles of previous rock types.
Chemical: A sedimentary rock created by the evaporation and subsequent crystallization of mineral rich fluids.
Organic: A sedimentary rock composed of the remains of lithified plants (coal), or animals (limestone).

∙ 12y agoThat was a bad answer. Chemical rocks originate from a chemical solution. Detrital rocks are made up of fragments or other rocks. Organic rocks are made up from organic material.

Orgains- Made of fossils
Chemical- from due to chemical reactions
I hope this helped you enough :)
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoOrganic contains many fossils and organic matter
When chemical sedimentary rock is formed by chemical changes,cyrstal/mineral forming so they are common in places such as salt lakes

Describe the requirements for a material to be classified as a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks have three main types that reflect their origins: Detrital chemical and biochemical.
What is a type of detrital sedimentary rock?
Detrital rocks are sedimentary rocks that are composed of particles of weathered and eroded igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks that have been deposited, compacted, and cemented together. Sandstone, conglomerate, shale, and breccia are examples of detrital sedimentary rocks.
What minerals are most common in detrital sedimentary rocks?
The most common minerals in detrital sedimentary rocks are quartz grains and clay.
What is the most abundant mineral in detrital sedimentary rocks?
quartz
What is the main criterion for classifying detrital sedimentary rocks?
Particle size.

What are the main sub-categories Sedimentary Rock?
Detrital sedimentary rock Chemical sedimentary rock Biological sedimentary rock
Is shale detrital chemical or organic rock?
Detrital, this is coming from my Geology textbook.
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No. The rocks you describe are clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks.
What are the two main types of sedimentary rocks?
Clastic (those formed of particles of other rocks) and non-clastic (organic and chemical precipitate or evaporite rocks).
In what ways are detrital rocks organic rocks and chemical sedimentary rocks the same?
