Wanted to know, how do I find a steady source of sedimentary rock? I want to start breeding stone hatches, but I donβt have enough sedimentary rock. I only got 400kg of it within almost 30 cycles of destroying the temperate biome.
Read the topicClassification of Rocks on Earth related to Geography to know more about types of rocks Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary rocks their origin, composition, formation, etc. The topic is very important for various exams like SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, SSC CPO, UPSC CDS, UPSC CSE, State PCS, and other exams.

I will be teaching a 3-week class on geology and rockhounding for a group of kids ages 5-11. I have some gorgeous samples of various types of jasper that I want to bring, but I can't get a straight answer on what jasper actually is.
I know it's mostly made up of micro quartz crystals, and if it was purely quartz would technically be a mineral... but most jasper has other "impurities." Would this then lead it to being classified as a sedimentary rock? I was pretty sure my samples were sedimentary, but now I see I have some Wyoming Jasper which I read was classified as metamorphic.
Are various types of jasper classified differently?
Thanks for an your advice you can offer.
I have an assignement in university for which I need to collect different rock samples before it starts snowing. Does anyone have any idea where I can find rocks around the city? Being unfamiliar with the city, I have no clue where to start.
(If there is a better sub reddit to post this, please let me know.)
Even though it is produced through volcanic eruption, volcanic ash condensed into a stratified tuff can also often preserve fossils without destroying them. In that way, what kind of rock is it?

Iβm developing a desert starting area in my homebrew setting influenced by both the Dune Saga and the Taklamakan desert. The idea is thereβs a secluded, sparsely populated city atop a mesa in the middle of a massive area of sand dunes. The desert is bottlenecked by mountains that are near impossible for commoners to scale. I want to make some outcroppings,(playable) scatter rock pieces and vertical cliffs for the encounters within this desert setting (probably some spires and arches too. Because you know, when you roamπ ) Iβve been digging through YT and found some techniques from some seasoned crafters using bark, horizontal knife cuts and layers of foam to achieve this, but was hoping there might be some other βdiamond in the roughβ techniques//some modifications to the previously mentioned techniques that I may have missed due to my freshness to this hobby. Also if anyone has tips on painting to capture the stratification of sedimentary rock, that would also be awesome. In the meantime, I gotssome experimenting to do :)Thanks in advance! Edit: i primarily use xps, but any material is fine if it yields good results ππ»
I've been studying coal and coal mining a lot lately and everywhere I looked described Coal as sedimentary. I was confused because Coalification requires millions of years of heat and pressure to reduce the peat to a higher carbon content, which would be considered metamorphic right?
I'm not a geologist lol.
