Sedimentary rocks are often deposited in layers, and frequently contain fossils.

Essentially, lithification is a process of porosity destruction through compaction and cementation]]> 2018-01-30 16:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/3045353/32620k12gbl8/wish/226177275 3045353 https://padlet.com/3045353/32620k12gbl8/wish/226178570 compaction. (kəm-pāk'shən) The process by which the porosity of a given form of sediment is decreased as a result of its mineral grains being squeezed together by the weight of overlying sediment or by mechanical means.
