Serpentine is not a sedimentary rock; it is classified as a metamorphic rock. It forms from the alteration of ultramafic rocks, such as peridotite, through a process called serpentinization, which involves hydration and metamorphism. This process typically occurs in environments associated with tectonic activity, rather than through sedimentary processes.
