1.0 TITLE Identification and Classification of Sedimentary rock. 1.1 INTRODUCTION The traditional methods of conducting laboratory activities will not be able to provide the avenue for students to enhance independent learning activities and inculcate 2

creativity and innovation. Level 0 is fully prescriptive where problem, ways & means and answers are provided to the students. However it is still necessary especially to first and second year students.

Weathering processes break down rock into finer and finer material and such material is often transported and deposited as sediment. The processes of compaction and cementation of this sediment over a long period of time turn the sediment into rock. The formation of rock in this way is termed "lithification".

Sedimentary rocks are divided into two broad classes, detrital sedimentary rocks and chemical sedimentary rocks.

1.2 OBJECTIVE The objective of the laboratory test is to identify physical properties of sedimentary rocks. 1.3 APPARATUS i. Magnifying hand lens ii. Sedimentary rock specimens labeled iii. Sedimentary classification chart

1.4 PROCEDUR i.

The sedimentary rocks are named by referring from the Reference set.

ii.

The texture of sedimentary rocks is identified through observation.

iii.

The colour of sedimentary rocks is identified through observation.

iv.

Mineral composition of the sedimentary rocks is determined from Appendix 3 (a)
