it's not easy to classify sedimentary structures, because both their origins and their geometries are so highly varied. Two reasonable ways of classifying them are on the basis of: kind of mechanism that produces them (physical sedimentary structures, chemical sedimentary structures, and biogenic sedi-mentary structures) and time of development relative to time of deposition (primary sedimentary structures and secondary sedimentary structures).
