No, limestone is composed of various minerals (a material made up of a combination of atoms of various elements arranged in a specific atomic lattice to form crystals - as they are a mixture of varying elements they may also be referred to as compounds). The most common of which in Limestone is Calcite / Calcium Carbonate.
Calcium Carbonate has the chemical formula CaCO3. From this we can see that limestone is formed predominantly from the elements Calcium (Ca), Carbon (C) and Oxygen (O).

What element is a solid found in marble limestone chalk and teeth?
Calcium.
Limestone is a compound or element or mixture?
Limestone is principally CaCO3, which is a compound. Because naturally occurring limestone is usually formed from sea shells and ocean bottom debris mixed together, naturally occurring limestone is usually a mixture. Naturally occurring limestone in caves in the form of stalactites and stalagmites can be much more nearly pure than limestone formed from former sea beds, but even these kinds of cave limestone generally contain some materials other than pure CaCO3.
How is cement formed from limestone?
cement is formed from limestone by combustion of limestone ( heating of the limestone)!
What types of bedrock are dissolved most easily by running water?
Limestone and Marble Limestone and Marble
How is limestone pavement formed?

What element do soda limestone and sand all contain?
oxygen soda = water and CO2 Limestone = CaCO3 sand = SiO2
What element is a solid found in marble limestone chalk and teeth?
Calcium.
Is limestone a metallic element?
Most limestone is the skeletal remains of marine organisms. Basically, laid down on the sea bed in layers, and compressed over a very long time, the layers become solid limestone rock.
What element is in coal limestone and petroleum?
Coal and petroleum consist primarily of carbon. Limestone is the ionic compound CaCO3, known as calcite or calcium carbonate, which contains carbon.
When limestone is crushed is it a physical change?
Yes, crushing limestone is a physical change. This is because the chemical composition of limestone remains unchanged during the process of crushing. The size and shape of the limestone particles may change, but the chemical makeup remains the same.
What elements are found in limestone chalk and shells?
The element calcium is found in all four items.
