Sedimentary rocks make up only 5% (by volume) of the upper 10 miles of the crust, but about 75% of the outcrops on the continents. Two primary types of sedimentary rocks: 1  Chemical-precipitate from solution (e.g., limestone); most important constituents are calcite, dolomite, chalcedony (SiO2), gypsum, and halite.2  Chemical sedimentary rocks can be further divided as to: 3  inorganic (e.g., limestone, rock salt, dolomite).

1 Shale is a sedimentary term. 2  Slate refers to a fine-grained, low-grade metasedimentary rock in which bedding is typically still visible: 3  Schist refers to a medium-to high-grade, medium-to coarse-grained metamorphic rock of any composition that has a fabric.
