Ripple marks on sedimentary rocks are formed by the action of water or wind - they indicate the direction and energy of the current that deposited the sediment. They don't suggest high - temperature formation (igneous rock characteristic), formation from mollusk shells (bioclastic rocks), or volcanic origin.
