1
Quick-write Why do you think some rocks fizzed with acid?
2
Sedimentary Rocks Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is pressed and cemented together over millions of years.
3
Sediment is small pieces of material that have been broken off rocks and have been deposited by water, wind or ice.
5
Types of sedimentary rocks: 1)Limestone Made from sea shells. Sea shells are made from the mineral calcite. Smooth texture. Limestone rock fizzes when tested with acid.
6
Calcite is CaCO 3 (calcium carbonate). CaCO 3 + acid CO 2 CO 2 causes effervescence (fizzing)
8
2) Sandstone Made from sand particles cemented together. Rough texture. When rubbed together sand particles break off. Does not fizz with acid; does not contain calcite.
10
3 ) Shale Made from very small particles cemented together. Smooth texture. Black in color. May contain fossils. Does not fizz with acid; does not contain calcite.

8 & 9 are both sandstone 6 is Supai sandstone 8 is Coconino sandstone 7 is called Hermit Shale
