Which kind sedimentary rock may be formed both chemically and organically?
limestone
List three major groups of sedimentary rock?
Sandstone and shale Actually it is Organic, Clastic, and Chemical
What kind of sedimentary rock may be formed both chemically and organically?
Conglomerate,Breccia,Sandstone,Siltstone,Shale,Rock salt,Rock gypsum,Dolostone,Limestone,Bituminous coal.
What are five characteristics within a sedimentary rocks?
A sedimentary rock is composed of layers, kost often composed of particles that are cemented or formed by compaction. They contain pores or open spaces, are mixtures of minerals and rock types, the compaction is typically a result of gravity.
What types of sedimentary rocks are formed from the remains of dead organisms?
Biosedimentary rocks (i.e. Biologically formed sedimentary rocks). Eg Coal.
Sedimentary rocks that formed organically typically contain?
Sedimentary rocks that are formed organically typically contain fossils. They also have other organic material like calcite and other similar substances.
What are the 3 types of sedimentary?
Mechanically formed sedimentary rock , Chemically formed sedimentary rock and Organically formed sedimentary rock.
What types of sedimentary rocks are there?
Physically/mechanically formed sedimentary rock, organically/biologically formed sedimentary rock, and chemically formed sedimentary rock.
Which kind sedimentary rock may be formed both chemically and organically?
limestone
Is coal related to rock?
Coal is a form of rock. It is an organically formed sedimentary rock.
What are the types of sedimentary rocks?
Clastic and nonclastic

How does clastic sedimentary rock form?
Clastic Sedimentary rocks are formed from the compaction and cementation of rock particles
What is The type of rock formed by fine particles such as mud and sand that contains many fossils is?
Sedimentary - but itdoes not necessarily contain fossils to be sedimentary.

What types of stones are most likely to contain fossils?
There are three basic types of rock; sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic. Igneous rocks are formed by volcanic action and don't contain fossils. Sedimentary rocks are formed, usually under water, by eroded material accumulating. Metamorphic rocks are formed when sedimentary rocks are changed by heating and/or pressure. From this, you can see that sedimentary rocks are the most likely to contain fossils, although metamorphic rocks also can contain fossils. Any sedimentary rock can contain fossils, but some make fossil hunting easier. Shales and mudstones are particularly good; chalk is pretty much entirely made of fossils - it's formed of skeletons of small organisms, but its difficult to see the individual fossils.
