👉 Bedding veins are thin, parallel bands of sedimentary rock that form within layers of sedimentary rock. They develop when mineral-rich water seeps through cracks and fills them with minerals, creating distinct layers or veins. These veins can be found throughout the Earth's crust and are often associated with hydrocarbon deposits. Bedding veins are important indicators of past geological conditions and can provide insights into the history of sedimentary basins and rock formations.
