Sedimentary rocks are often deposited in layers, and frequently contain fossils. ]]> 2018-01-30 17:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/305707/c14vvaolli6l/wish/226224194 305707 https://padlet.com/305707/c14vvaolli6l/wish/226225857 Lithification (from the Ancient Greek word lithos meaning 'rock' and the Latin-derived suffix -ific) is the process in which sediments compact under pressure, expel connate fluids, and gradually become solid rock.
