Limestone.
Shale rock is indirectly formed of skeletons and ancient coral animals. Clay minerals and tiny fragments of minerals like quartz and calcite make up shale. Calcite comes from the reaction of CaCO3, or calcium carbonate with Hydrogen ions. CaCO3 is a component of shells and bones.

Coral is actually a living thing, not a rock. Coral is not a rock at all. It is the skeletons created by anthozoans. These are a live organism. A rocklike deposit consisting of the calcareous skeletons secreted by various anthozoans. Coral deposits often accumulate to form reefs or islands in warm seas.

Coral is the hard rock-like substance that is formed by skeletons of tiny sea animals. These calcareous skeletons build up and form islands and reefs.

Shale Rock
Mostly calcite.
Calcite is a mineral, not a rock. It can occur as part of rocks in any category. For instance, the sedimentary rock chalk consists almost entirely of calcite, the metamorphic rock marble consists mostly of calcite, and the igneous rock carbonatite consists mostly of calcite.
A rock can be tested for calcite by placing a drop on vinegar on its surface. If there is calcite present the rock will effervesce.
Not 'mud', it is the remains of shells and skeletons of dead sea creatures, as well as precipitated calcite that eventually lithify to form limestone.
The metamorphic rock comprising of entirely calcite is limestone.
