Placer deposits are natural occurring concentrations of minerals and metals that are found in sedimentary rock formations. These deposits are formed through a series of geological processes that involve the movement, deposition, and alteration of minerals. They are an important source of economic minerals such as gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc. In

Halite deposits may be 1,000 m thick or more, but gypsum rock deposits are generally much thinner. Both kinds of deposits form during evaporation of inland seas or other isolated waters.

Marine sediment, or ocean sediment, or seafloor sediment, are deposits of insoluble particles that have accumulated on the seafloor.These particles either have their origins in soil and rocks and have been transported from the land to the sea, mainly by rivers but also by dust carried by wind and by the flow of glaciers into the sea, or they are biogenic

Lacustrine deposits are sedimentary rock formations which formed in the bottom of ancient lakes. [1] A common characteristic of lacustrine deposits is that a river or stream channel has carried sediment into the basin. Lacustrine deposits form in all lake types including rift graben lakes, oxbow lakes, glacial lakes, and crater lakes.

· Conglomerate Composition. Conglomerate is a type of sedimentary rock that is composed primarily of rounded or water-worn pebbles, cobbles, and boulders, which are known as clasts.

Sedimentary rock is classified into two main categories: clastic and chemical. Clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks are made from pieces of bedrock, sediment, derived primarily by mechanical weathering. Clastic rocks may also include chemically weathered sediment.

Sedimentary rocks can be formed only where sediments are deposited long enough to become compacted and cemented into hard beds or strata.
