Rock Collection - Sedimentary

The rock collection in this science kit is the real deal! Sedimentary rock is one of the three main rock groups (the others being igneous and metamorphic rock). Rock formed from sediments covers 75-80% of the Earth's land area, and includes common types such as chalk, limestone, dolomite, sandstone, conglomerate and shale. This is serious learning fun for young geologists as they study and display the 12 handpicked rock specimens, chosen for their color, texture and beauty. The identification chart and information guide will give kids a great introduction to identifying igneous rock specimens.

Rock specimens include: Siltstone, Sandstone, Rock Salt, Coal, Limestone, Arkose, Conglomerate, Fossiliferous Limestone, Mudstone, Shale, Travertine, and Rock Gypsum. The handy storage tray helps keep your specimens organized. Start your own rock collection today!
