    The main difference is the source of the sediment that the rock is formed from. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed mostly from silicate sediment derived by the breakdown of pre-existing rocks. Bioclastic rocks are formed by the accumulation of fragmented organic remains (such as shell-sand) - i. e. the sediment is of biological rather than non-biological origin.
