  1. OUTLINE • Introduction • Sediment Transport and Deposition • From Sediment to Sedimentary Rock • Types of Sedimentary Rocks • Sedimentary Facies • Reading the Story in Sedimentary Rocks • Resources in Sediments and Sedimentary Rocks • Geo-Recap

  2. OBJECTIVES 1 Weathering yields sediment that is transported by various geologic agents and deposited as an aggregate of loose solids. 2 Compaction and cementation convert sediment to sedimentary rock. 3 Texture and composition are used to classify sedimentary rocks. 4 Individual layers of sediment differ in texture, composition, or both, depending on the nature of the processes accounting for their deposition. 5 Many extensive sedimentary rock layers were deposited when shallow seas covered large parts of the continents or during withdrawals of seas from the continents. 6 A variety of features known as sedimentary structures form in sediment at the time of deposition. 7 Most fossil evidence of prehistoric life is found in sedimentary rocks. 8 Geologists study sedimentary structures and fossils to determine the geologic history of sedimentary rocks. 9 Some sediments and sedimentary rocks are resources in themselves or contain resources such as petroleum and natural gas.
