Which type of sedimentary rock is limestone?
Limestone can occur as a bioclastic or a chemical sedimentary rock.
Is limestone chemical sedimentary rock?
It can be. Limestone can be derived from precipitating minerals, in which case it is a chemical sedimentary rock. It can also be formed from the remains of marine organisms, in which case it is described as a bioclastic sedimentary rock, a form of detrital rock.
What sedimentary rocks are made of fragments of rocks minerals and shells?
Bioclastic sedimentary rocks.
Where can you find a sedimentary rock?
Examples of sedimentary rock include:BauxiteLimestoneDolostoneBrecciaConglomerateShaleMudstoneBituminous CoalSandstoneHaliteGypsumChalkCoquinaLateriteArkoseGraywackeClaystoneSiltstoneChertTypes include clastic (cemented sediment particles), non-clastic (chemical precipitates or evaporites), and organic (from organisms, e.g. coal). Some will further divide sedimentary rocks into another type called bioclastic, rocks formed from clasts of organic matter (like sea shells).
What is the texture of all inorganic land derived sedimentary rocks?

What is a example of an bioclastic rock?
Chalk and coquina are both examples of bioclastic sedimentary rocks.
Which type of sedimentary rock is limestone?
Limestone can occur as a bioclastic or a chemical sedimentary rock.
Cemented shells of marine organisms form which kind of sedimentary rock?
Bioclastic sedimentary rock--coquina.
What is a rock formed from crushed shells and coral?
A Sedimentary Rock. Eg, Bioclastic Limestone.
What kind of sedimentary rock is formed when sediment is buried compacted and cemented?
Clastic or bioclastic sedimentary rock is formed in this manner.
How does bioclastic rock form?
Bioclastic rock forms from the sedimentation, compaction, and cementation of shell fragments of marine organisms. An example of a bioclastic rock is coquina.
What makes a clastic rock different from a bioclastic rock?
A Clastic sedimentary rock forms when fragments of preexisting rocks are compacted or cemented together. A Bioclastic rock is a clastic rock but the fragments are not of preexisting rock but of organic shell and or bone fragments.
What rock is at least partly biologically produced?
Boiclastic sedimentary rocks. Eg Bioclastic Limestone.
Is limestone chemical sedimentary rock?
It can be. Limestone can be derived from precipitating minerals, in which case it is a chemical sedimentary rock. It can also be formed from the remains of marine organisms, in which case it is described as a bioclastic sedimentary rock, a form of detrital rock.
Many caves in the eastern US were formed with what kind of sedimentary rock that contained remains of ancient marine life?
I believe it is Bioclastic sedimentary rock--coquina although it was formed by shells of marine organisms.
What sedimentary rocks are made of fragments of rocks minerals and shells?
Bioclastic sedimentary rocks.
Is limestone classified as a granite or a sandstone?
Limestone is not classed as either a granitoid or a sandstone rock. Limestone is a sedimentary rock, either chemically precipitated or bioclastic in origin. Granite is a plutonic igneous rock, and sandstone, although sedimentary, is formed from the cementation of sand-sized particles of eroded rock.
