Stratified Rocks

Stratified rocks form from the compaction of fine-grained silt and clay-size mineral particles commonly called "mud". This fine-grained sedimentary rock results when mud settles and is compressed over time. Stratification occurs due to layers of different particle sizes settling at different rates.
