Clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks are made from pieces of bedrock, sediment, derived primarily by mechanical weathering. Clastic rocks may also include chemically weathered sediment. They are classified by grain shape, grain size, and sorting. Chemical sedimentary rocks are precipitated from water saturated with dissolved minerals. Chemical rocks are classified mainly by the composition of minerals in the rock.

Compaction occurs via dewatering, grain-scale deformation, and dissolution. Cementation is the precipitation of mineral cements from fluids. Other processes such as replacement and/or dissolution can be important in some rocks.

Beyond being potentially visually striking features, these structures record processes such as the precipitation of minerals, dissolution, surface processes, and bioturbation.
