Yes, rock salt is a type of chemical sedimentary rock formed from the precipitation of salt minerals, making it nonclastic. It is mainly composed of the mineral halite (sodium chloride) and is commonly found in evaporite sedimentary environments.

Chalk is a type of sedimentary rock that is primarily composed of organic material, specifically the calcareous remains of marine microorganisms such as coccolithophores. It is not considered clastic, as it does not consist of fragments of pre-existing rock like clastic sedimentary rocks.
