Clasts may range in size from boulders to microscopic particles most commonly known as clay. After weathering creates the clasts they are transported by wind, water, ice or gravity to a new location where they are physically deposited. The resulting clastic sedimentary rock is composed of fragments of pre-existing rocks. 2.

In general, geologists have attempted to classify sedimentary rocks on a natural basis, but some schemes have genetic implications (i.e.,knowledge of origin of a particular rock type is assumed), and many classifications reflect the philosophy, training, and experience of those who propound them. No scheme has found universal acceptance, and discussion here will centre on some

If the composition is mostly SiO2 (glass), they are called chert. Clastic sedimentary rocks are classified by both their composition and their grain size. For example, rocks with mud-sized fragments of calcareous (CaCO3) shells are called chalk. Rocks with mud-sized fragments of siliceous (SiO2) shells are called diatomite.
