Sand stone, Conglomerate, Limestone, Shale, Chalk and Coal are example of:

  • A.Igneous Rocks
  • B.Sedimentary Rocks
  • C.Metamorphic Rocks
  • D.None of Above.

Answer: B

These are sedimentary rocks.

Each forms by deposition: sandstone and conglomerate from transported fragments, shale from compacted mud, limestone and chalk from the remains of marine organisms, and coal from buried plant matter. They are laid down in strata, which is why they carry fossils and the others do not.
