What is an example of a bioclastic sedimentary rock?
Limestone, chalk, and coal are organic sedimentary rocks.
Which type of sedimentary rock is limestone?
Limestone can occur as a bioclastic or a chemical sedimentary rock.
What rock has shell fragment feldspar fragment and quartz fragment?
The rock which has fragments of feldsper and quartz is 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.
Is limestone considered a chemical rock?
Yes. It forms when calcite that is dissolved in lakes, seas or underground water comes out of a solution and forms crystals (precipitation). Certain limestones are also considered bioclastic sedimentary rock, as they are formed primarily of shell fragments or skeletons of marine organisms.
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 is a example of an bioclastic rock?
Chalk and coquina are both examples of bioclastic sedimentary rocks.
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 is a rock formed from crushed shells and coral?
A Sedimentary Rock. Eg, Bioclastic Limestone.
What is an example of a bioclastic sedimentary rock?
Limestone, chalk, and coal are organic 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 rock has shell fragment feldspar fragment and quartz fragment?
The rock which has fragments of feldsper and quartz is 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.
What rock is at least partly biologically produced?
Boiclastic sedimentary rocks. Eg Bioclastic Limestone.
What is bioclastic texture?
Bioclastic rocks are comprised of shell fragments or organic remains. They feel rough and sharp.
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.
