Definitions

Wiktionary

  1. n. Plural form of sedimentary rock.

GNU Webster's 1913

  1. adj. (Geol.) See Aqueous rocks, under Aqueous.

Examples

  • “Presumably the individual particles of silt or sand that go to make sedimentary rocks contain potassium-40 and other radioactive isotopes, and therefore could be said to contain radioactive clocks; but unfortunately these clocks are no use to us because they are not properly zeroed, or are zeroed at different times from each other.”

    Simon & Schuster: THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH

  • “At Dun-ross's blank look he added hastily, "Hydrocarbons are only found in porous sedimentary rocks of the Paleozoic era.”
