Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of small particles and subsequent cementation of mineral or organic particles on the floor of oceans or other bodies of water at the Earth`s surface. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause these particles to settle in place. One of the rare examples of sedimentary rocks in Iceland is the sequence of marine and non-marine sediments present on the Tjornes Peninsula in northern Iceland, situated at the northeast of Iceland, between the fjords of Oxarfjordur and Skjalfandi.
