[edit] Rock Formation

There are three types of rocks.

Let's start with sedimentary rocks, they are first weathered and then eroted to be deposited into river banks and compacted and cementated after many layers of cement have been covering it. Well, there are three classified sedimantary rocks,organic, chemical, and clastic. Organic sedimentayr rocks are basically rocks formed from calcium and animal remains. They can easily be found in river banks,seas, and oceans. They later become fossiliferous, a fancy word for fossils. Then chemical rocks are formed when minerals crystallize from a solution(s)of minerals and water to become a rock. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.70.82.14 (talk • contribs) 22:46, 12 February 2007
