Transcribed Image Text:Figure 2.12
Sedimentary rocks, formed at low temperatures. (A) Limestone. (B) The fossils preserved in this limestone are crinoids, ancient
echinoderms related to modern sea urchins and sea stars. (C) Shale, made of many fine layers of tiny clay particles. (D) Sandstone;
when viewed closely, larger grains appear rounded. (E) Conglomerate, a coarser-grained rock similar to sandstone; many of the
fragments here are rocks, not individual mineral grains. (F) Breccia. Note that the included fragments are much more angular than
those in the conglomerate.
Sources: (A) U.S. Geological Survey/Photograph by I. J. Witkind; (B-F)OCarla Montgomery.
This figure shows:
igneous rocks, specifically how their textures look different when they cool at
different speeds.
O metamorphic rocks, specifically foliated metamorphic rocks.
O sedimentary rocks, specifically how their sediment sizes compare with familiar
objects like a pen or a hammer.
igneous rocks, specifically how their colors are different when they form from
different temperature magma.
