Based on the binding agent:
* Clastic sediment: This is a general term for loose sediment made of rock fragments.
* Clayey sediment: Held together by clay minerals, forming a cohesive mass.
* Silt: Similar to clay, but with slightly larger particles.
* Sand: Often held together by moisture or organic matter, forming sand dunes or compacted layers.
* Chemical sediment: This is sediment formed by precipitation from water.
* Evaporites: Minerals precipitated from evaporating water, like salt or gypsum.
* Carbonates: Minerals precipitated from seawater, like limestone or dolomite.
Based on the resulting form:
* Soil: A mixture of mineral and organic matter, held together by various agents.
* Conglomerate: A rock composed of rounded gravel held together by a cementing material.
* Breccia: A rock composed of angular fragments held together by a cementing material.
* Sedimentary rock: Any rock formed from the accumulation and cementation of sediment.
Other possibilities:
* Aggregate: A general term for loose material used in construction.
* Fill: Material used to fill a void or raise the level of a surface.
To give you a more specific answer, I need more information about the type of sediment and how it is held together.
