Do Now: What are Sedimentary rocks?.  Explain the processes of compaction and cementation.  Describe how chemical and organic sedimentary rocks form.

Sedimentary Rocks Sedimentary rock is formed by weathering and erosion

 A rock is a naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals, or organic matter  Rocks are classified by how they are formed, their composition,

SEDIMENTARY ARCHIVES Classification of Sedimentary Rocks

SEDIMENTARY ARCHIVES Classification of Sedimentary Rocks Quartz Arenite  > 90% Quartz  Cement: silica calcite

SEDIMENTARY ARCHIVES Classification of Sedimentary Rocks Feldspathic Arenite Arkose  >25% Feldspar  Granitic source  Remainder is quartz  Cement: clay calcite iron oxides

SEDIMENTARY ARCHIVES Classification of Sedimentary Rocks Lithic Arenite Greywacke  >33% rock fragments  Immature sandstone  Poorly sorted, angular  Remainder is quartz, feldspar  Cement: very little mostly clays

SEDIMENTARY ARCHIVES Classification of Sedimentary Rocks

Composition Carbonate rocks consist of limestone and dolostone. The minerals present in each are: Limestone Calcite Aragonite Dolostone Dolomite SEDIMENTARY ARCHIVES Classification of Sedimentary Rocks Carbonates

SEDIMENTARY ARCHIVES Classification of Sedimentary Rocks Carbonates Most of marine origin Directly or indirectly related to biological processes Skeletal remains may be visible Can be evaporites Changes in water temp., alkalinity, CO 2 conc. Clear, shallow tropical waters

SEDIMENTARY ARCHIVES Classification of Sedimentary Rocks Carbonates Characteristics of most marine carbonate environments: Warm water Tropical climate (30 ° N - 30 ° S of equator) Shallow water (less than 200 m deep) Clear water (low to no terrigenous input) Sunlight required for photosynthesis by algae
