SEQUENCES OF SEDIMENTARY ROCKS THAT ARE CHARACTERISED BY REPETITIVE PATTERNS OF DIFFERENT ROCK TYPES (STRATA) OR FACIES WITHIN THE SEQUENCE
Cyclic sedimentation; Cyclic sediment; Rhythmic sediment; Rhythmic sediments; Depositional cycle
Cyclic sediments (also called rhythmic sediments) are sequences of sedimentary rocks that are characterised by repetitive patterns of different rock types (strata) or facies within the sequence. Processes that generate sedimentary cyclicity can be either autocyclic or allocyclic, and can result in piles of sedimentary cycles hundreds or even thousands of metres thick.

(sediments)
Sediment is solid material that settles at the bottom of a liquid, especially earth and pieces of rock that have been carried along and then left somewhere by water, ice, or wind.
Many organisms that die in the sea are soon buried by sediment.

Clay mineral
Clay minerals are hydrous aluminium phyllosilicates (e.g. kaolin, Al2Si2O5(OH)4), sometimes with variable amounts of iron, magnesium, alkali metals, alkaline earths, and other cations found on or near some planetary surfaces.
Clay minerals form in the presence of water and have been important to life, and many theories of abiogenesis involve them. They are important constituents of soils, and have been useful to humans since ancient times in agriculture and manufacturing.
