Sedimentary rocks occur when sediments, weathered fragments from older rocks as well as biological debris like leaves, trees, and dead animals, are deposited and stay in place long enough for rock to form. Some sedimentary rocks include sandstones, shales, and coal seams. Sedimentary deposits are very important in economic geology for they include coal seams and oil deposits.
