Limestone is made up out of fossils of corals and shells from the water.
Limestone ;) <3
Fossil rich limestone is limestone with various sea creature fossils in it such as shells. It is organic and fine grained. It is sedimentary... Yea that's it :P
Paleontologists are looking for fossils in sedimentary rock.
Fossiliferous limestone has larger fossils in the rock and is of biochemical composition where as the oolitic limestone doesn't have any fossils and has a chemical composition. The Oolitic limestone has spherical grains that resemble miniature pearls (they are called ooliths or ooids). Both do effervesce in diluted HCL(acid)
Sedimentary, especially limestone.
sedimentary rocks are what fossils are found in
limestone is made underwater from the shells of animals. We know this because limestone also contains many fossils.
Limestone. However most large masses of limestone formed from coral reefs, not shells. The shell fossils in this limestone are "incidentals" due to shell dwelling organisms living on the periphery of the reef, not the bulk of the limestone.
