JordanIntrabasinal sedimentary rocks form within a basin where they accumulate due to erosion, weathering, and deposition of sediments within the same basin. Extrabasinal sedimentary rocks originate outside the basin and are transported into the basin through processes like erosion, transportation, and deposition. These rocks reflect the different environments and origins of sediment deposition.

Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
Are there any fossils in sedimentary rocks?
Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
What type of rocks can contain fossils on them?
Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.
Are sedimentary rocks classified tofoliated sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks are not classified as foliated. Foliation is a textural feature found in certain types of metamorphic rocks where minerals are aligned in layers or bands due to pressure and heat. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation and cementation of sediments and do not exhibit foliation.
