Answer 2

The most common rocks found in Oklahoma are sedimentary rocks, which are found on the surface, these rocks are composed of sediments which were lithified, in other words, they changed to stone. Other kinds of sediments include clay, sand and even sea shells. In other cases, sediment can be salt, as a result of when the sea dries up.

Another sedimentary rock is limestone. The limestone found in Oklahoma also contains marine fossils.
