Sedimentary Rock Kit – 16 Specimen Collection
Cornerstone’s Sedimentary Rock Kit is a carefully curated collection of real sedimentary rock specimens, featuring 16 numbered and hand-selected samples sourced from across the United States and beyond. This kit showcases a wide variety of attractive, distinctive, and educational sedimentary rocks, making it an excellent resource for Earth science studies, geology courses, and hands-on rock identification.
Sedimentary rocks provide valuable insight into deposition, compaction, cementation, and fossil formation, and this collection allows students to observe these processes through clear, representative examples. The specimens highlight clastic, chemical, and organic sedimentary rocks commonly studied in Earth science curricula.
