Sedimentary stone layers contain Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, and Template:L.
Template:L*, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L*, Template:L, Template:L*, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L and Template:L layers are sedimentary.
- (* These also function as Template:L.)
The name of a sedimentary layer appears white on the embark menu.
Sedimentary layers are, on average, the most economically valuable of the four mineral layers. They are your only source of Template:L and Template:L, vital for fueling non-Template:L forges and for the Template:L Template:L-making requires (especially if you lack Template:Ls). Even if magma is present, only sedimentary layers contain Template:L, the only stone (other than Template:L) which can withstand the heat of magma. They are much richer in Template:L Template:L than other rock formations. Several sedimentary rocks - Template:L, Template:L, and Template:L - are Template:Les, required for making Template:L making and also being twice as valuable as normal stone, making them useful for Template:L or Template:L.
(In real world geology, sedimentary Template:L is formed by sediment. The sediment collects in constantly growing heaps and the pressure at the bottom eventually forms the sediment into stone. This is not true for Dwarf Fortress.)
