  1. Sedimentary Sandwiches Emily Ranch

  2. Brown Bread Sandstone Soft stone made when sand grains cement together

  3. Cheese Shale Like clay that has been hardened and turned into rock. It often breaks apart into flat sections

  4. Peanut Butter/Chocolate Chips Conglomerate Contains rounded rocks cemented together into a matrix.

  5. Mayonnaise / Raisins Porphyry When jagged bits of rock are cemented together into a matrix.

  6. Turkey Limestone A rock that contains fossils and is made of carbonate / microscopic shells.

  8. Reminders • - Brown bread- (Sandstone) is a soft stone that is made when sand grains cement together. • - Cheese- (Shale) like clay that has been hardened and turned into rock. It often breaks apart in large flat sections. • - Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chips- (Conglomerate) which contains rounded rocks cemented together in a matrix. • - Mayonnaise and Raisins (Porphyry) is when jagged bits of rock are cemented together in a matrix. • - Turkey (Limestone) is a rock that contains many fossils and is made of calcium carbonate/ microscopic shells. • - Salt (Gypsum) common salt or Epsom salt is found where sea water precipitates the salt as the water evaporates.
