    I think this process is called Cementation. Cementation is a type of precipitation, a heterogeneous process in which ions are reduced to zero valence at a solid metallic interface. It involves hardening and welding of clastic sediments (the ones formed from preexisting rock fragments) by the precipitation of mineral matter in the pore spaces. It is the last stage in the formation of sedimentary rocks.
