The stages of formation for this general class of rock are diagenesis and lithification, and the law of superposition governs age relations for these rocks, whose subtypes include clastic.
The stages of formation for this general class of rock are diagenesis and lithification, and the law of superposition governs age relations for these rocks, whose subtypes include clastic. One deposit of one rock of this type is a bed of Cambrian Explosion fossils found near Mt. Burgess; that rock is well known for a kerogen-rich "oil" variety. In addition to (*) shale, examples of this type include sandstone and limestone. Formed from accumulation of settled particles, name this rock type, contrasted with metamorphic and igneous rocks.
