according to composition i.e. mineral grains, fossils, animal/plant matter, chemical composition etc. and grain size (gravel, sand, silt, clay)
for example sandstone is made up of mainly rock fragments or mineral grains (quartz, feldspar, clay) weathered form other rocks and has grains that are 1/16-2mm large.
What else can I help you with?
Why was sedimentary rock named sedimentary rock?
Because the rocks are formed by using layers of Sediment.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
Are there any fossils in sedimentary rocks?
Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
What are Detritus sedimentary rocks subdivided according to?
Detrital sedimentary are classified according to the size and shape of their sediments.

Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
Are there any fossils in sedimentary rocks?
Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
What type of rocks are formed when sediments are compacted over time?
Rocks that are formed by layers of sediments that are compacted over time are appropriately named sedimentary rocks.
What are Detritus sedimentary rocks subdivided according to?
Detrital sedimentary are classified according to the size and shape of their sediments.
What are three types of rocks?
igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
What type of rocks can contain fossils on them?
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
Are sedimentary rocks classified tofoliated sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks are not classified as foliated. Foliation is a textural feature found in certain types of metamorphic rocks where minerals are aligned in layers or bands due to pressure and heat. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation and cementation of sediments and do not exhibit foliation.
