What is a type of sedimentary rock formed from skeletons of microscopic living things once in the ocean?
Organic Sedimentary rock would probably be the best answer!
How do Sedimentary rocks formed and what are they made of?
Sedimantary RocksThese rocks are formed from th ehot lavaJk jk i was bored i dont reall know what they mean and i real HATE STAaR
Why are skeletons not real?
If you mean why are they are not skeletons as a life form then the dull answer is that a living mammal needs a bloodstream and muscles, and tissue and so on. Most insects and spiders are basically skeletal.
What is the name of the microscopic compartments that all living things are composed of?
Cells
What type of rock is clastic and non-clastic?
Clastic sediments are sediments that have particles or pieces of rock (clasts) in them. The clasts can be of igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary rock. Non-clastic sediments are made up of dissolved minerals or organic matter.

How is petroleum formed?
scientists think that petroleum formed from the remains of plankton and other microscopic protists, plants, and animals living in shallow seas millions of years ago. The remains of these organisms settled on the ocean floor and were covered by sediments. Over millions of years, the pressure and heat produced by the sediments coverted the remains of these organisms into a syrupy liquid.
When sediments of living things are pressed together you are left with what?
Sedimentary Rocks are formed when sediments and pressed and cemented together. It is also formed from minerals that are left after a solution is evaporated.
Which type of material does biogenous sediment form?
Two types of biogenous sediments are calcareous ooze and siliceous ooze.
What is limestone and chert?
Limestone is a boigenic rock. It is formed as a byproduct of living things, frequently it is made from the calcareous skeletons of living creatures. If we take the Chalk as a limestone, this was made in a warm shallow sea from the shells of microscopic plankton as they died and sank to the sea floor. However along with the calcareous shells, there were also shells of diatomic plankton which are made out of silicon dioxide (quartz). After deposition as the chalk was compacted by the overlying sediments that were laid down on top of it and it became buried, the water it contained became heated and the skeletons of the silicious diatoms dissolved in the water and then were redeposited as layers of "Chert" or "Flint" in the Chalk.
What is formed from coral shells and skeletons piled up on the ocean floor?
Yes, coral reefs are made of the limestone skeletons of deceased corals - the living corals are on the surface of the reef.
What is limestone's past?
It was the skeletons/shells of living animals and plants.
How do chemical rocks form?
The key is the sediments. ... Biochemical sedimentary rocks are formed from organic processes that involve living organisms producing the sediments. These living organisms can be snails and clams whose discarded calcium carbonate shells can form limestone.
The examination of a piece of living tissue?
Biopsy is the removal of living tissue for microscopic examination. Biomicroscopy is the microscopic examination of living tissue.Related terms:Histology is the study of tissue.Histopathology is the study of diseased tissue.
What is a rock and how is it formed?
A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments, that is particles of preexisting rocks that have been broken down by weathering process and transported to new locations by water, ice or wind. The sediments accumulate over time as layers deposited parallel to the Earth's surface and, as they become buried by overlying deposits, they harden to form rock - sedimentary rock. During their deposition process, they may include burrows, shells or bones of living creatures and these become fossils as the sediments harden.
What are living bacteria?
Bacteria are microscopic, single-celled organisms. Living bacteria are not dead.
