All sedimentary rocks occur in beds of some kind.

Beds are tabular

or lenticular layers of sedimentary rock having characteristics that
distinguish them from strata above and below. Beds are a function
of and are distinguished by the composition, size, shape,
orientation, and packing of sediment. Beds are separated by
bedding planes or bounding planes into units that may range
widely in thickness. Although the term bed is used in an informal
sense for any sedimentary layer, most workers formally designate
as beds only those layers thicker than 1 cm, as suggested by McKee
and Weir (1953). Layers thinner than 1 cm are laminae. On the
other hand, Campbell (1967) suggested that beds have no limiting
thickness and can range in thickness from a few millimeters to a
few tens of meters. Figure 3.1 shows a commonly used classification
of bed thickness.
