The 46 pages that link to Sedimentary rock, each with the reason it gives.

• Fossil recordRelated: Its layers contain most fossils and provide their geological context.

• Trace fossilRelated: Many trace fossils are preserved in layers of sedimentary rock.

• Index fossilRelated: Most fossils used for correlation occur in sedimentary rocks.

• Relative datingRelated: Its layered deposits commonly preserve an interpretable sequence.

• Rock cycleRelated: Weathering supplies sediment that burial and lithification turn into sedimentary rock.

• EscarpmentRelated: Alternating sedimentary layers often differ in resistance and shape escarpment faces.

• ProtolithRelated: Sedimentary rocks commonly supply the material later metamorphosed.

• KansasRelated: Kansas's fossil-bearing chalk and shale formed from sediments deposited in ancient seas.

• CementationRelated: Cementation is one process that converts deposited sediment into rock.

• Fold mountainsRelated: Layered sedimentary strata commonly record the folds produced by compression.
