sedimentary

Florian's pieces of rock, which have bands, are likely to change into metamorphic rock when subjected to heat and pressure. Metamorphic rocks are formed from existing rocks (either igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks) that undergo changes due to extreme heat and pressure, often developing banding or foliation as a result.
