DevinThe main sub-categories of sedimentary rocks are clastic, chemical, and organic. Clastic sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of fragments of pre-existing rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from the precipitation of minerals from water solutions. Organic sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compression of organic materials, such as plant or animal remains.
