Can a good geologist ever find a material that is somewhere between sedimentary rock and metamorphic rock?

Can be found. because all types of rocks that arise from the rock cycle on the surface of the earth.

Explanation:

In the geological cycle it is explained that rocks undergo changes in 4 phases namely

1. Magma

2. Frozen rock s

3. Sedimentary rocks

4. Metamorphic rocks, and then back again to magma.

But it does not rule out the possibility that rocks that are in the igneous phase will immediately become metamorphic rocks or even directly become magma again. It is also possible that sedimentary rocks have directly become magma or igneous rocks have become metamorphic. All conditions depend on the process through.

For sedimentary rocks to be metamorphic rocks that are usually under the surface of the earth. Intrusive igneous rocks are also under the earth's surface. When the rock that is beneath the surface of the earth is not exposed to the surface of the earth during the lifting process, the rock will be buried even deeper. The deeper buried, the more likely it is to be exposed to temperature and also the high pressure generated by tectonic compression and thermal energy emanating from the earth, which in turn can change these rocks. Rocks that have changed below the surface of the earth due to exposure to temperature, pressure, and also contact with magma are called metamorphic rocks.
