Because it forms from animals that were once living which makes it an organic sediment. It can also be classified into the Detrital sedimentary rock category because it is compacted together.

Must be coquina.

No, if you try to melt it at this point ti's going to separate and you will end up with something roughly the texture of oily sand.
