Detrital sediment consists primarily of mineral grains that were eroded from rocks on land. These mineral grains are transported by wind, water, or ice and eventually settle and accumulate to form detrital sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone or shale.
hydrates
Rock gypsum is formed by precipitation from saturated solutions that are composed primarily of dissolved gypsum. In this case, there is no true sediment, only the solution containing the dissolved mineral that was originally present in weathered and eroded rock.
Rock salt is formed from the evaporation of saturated solutions that are composed primarily of dissolved halite. In this case, there is no true sediment, only the solution containing the dissolved mineral that was originally present in weathered and eroded rock.
not a hydrogenous sediment?
No. Calcite is not an igneous mineral. Basalt primarily consists of pyroxines and plagioclase with some olivine.
