Chunky Sedimentary Rocks

Chunky Sedimentary Rocks. This sedimentary rock texture means bits and pieces of rock. Clastic. When a stream flows into a lake, the sediments are typically distributed by size. This is called:. Sorting. The sediment with a size between 6.4 cm and 25.6 cm is called:. Cobble.
