化學組成, 鍵及結構：(礦物)

Chemical composition, bonding and structure: (Mineral)

碎屑沉積岩是由其他岩石粒形成的。

非碎屑沉積岩是由化學過程通過蒸發或沉澱形成的。 或者是有機地通過積聚死去的植物和動物而形成的。

原生物：(化石)

Clastic sedimentary rock is formed from particles of other rocks.

Non-clastic sedimentary rock is formed from chemical process through evaporation or precipitation. Or organically- formed is through the accumulation of dead pants and animals.

Living Specimens: (Fossil)

它是分層岩（有層次）。它由碎屑（岩粒）組成，從侵蝕現有的岩石或活體有機體的殘留物中而成。 它不含有互鎖晶體，但可能含有化石。

It is stratified rock (has layers). It is composed of fragments (clasts) eroded from pre-existing rock/ remains of living organism. It does not contain interlocking crystals but it may contain fossils.

可以用作建築材料，混凝土骨料，鋪路基石，水泥，冶金熔劑，土壤調節劑，水處理，輕工業，化學工業，紡織，食品等。在石灰岩發育地區，常形成石林，溶洞等優美景區，可以吸引遊客觀光。

Can be used as building materials, concrete aggregates, paving stones, cements, metallurgical fluxes, soil conditioners, water treatment, light industry, chemical industry, textiles, food, etc. In areas where limestone develops, stone forests, caves and other scenic spots are often formed, it can attract tourist to go sightseeing.

砲彈岩暴露在從Trow Point到錫厄姆，並在內陸的採石場，最為壯觀的在
富維爾採石場。

Cannonball Rocks are exposed in the cliffs from Trow Point to north of Seaham, and in quarries inland, most spectacularly at Fulwell.

約10％的沉積岩是石灰岩

砲彈灰岩石是在世界各地沉積岩中有最顯著的圖案。

About 10% of sedimentary rock are limestone

Cannonball Rocks which contain ‘the most remarkable patterns in sedimentary rocks all around the world’
