The 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.

How would you describe a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock is one of the three main rock groups (along with igneous and metamorphic rocks) and is formed in three main ways-by the deposition of the weathered remains of other rocks (known as clastic sedimentary rocks); by the deposition of the results of biogenic activity; and by precipitation from solution. Sedimentary rocks include common types such as chalk, limestone, sandstone, and shale. :)
