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.

Is limestone an organic and chemical sedimentary rock?
Limestone made from shells would be an organic sedimentary rock.
What isThe most abundant chemical Sedimentary rock?
The most common chemical sedimentary rock is limestone.
Which type of sedimentary rock is limestone?
Limestone can occur as a bioclastic or a chemical sedimentary rock.
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 made from clastic organis or chemical?
A purely chemical sedimentary limestone would contain no fossil remnants, organic limestone would.
Is limestone a chemical rock?
Yes limestone is a chemical rock
Is limestone an organic and chemical sedimentary rock?

Is limestone volcanic?
No. Limestone is a chemical/biological sedimentary rock.
Is limestone made from precipitated calcite a chemical rock?
limestone is mostly seashells
Which sedimentary rock is a chemical rock?
Rock salt, rock gypsum, and sometimes limestone.
Is chalk clastic or non clastic?
Limestone is chemical; though in certain cases, limestone may be organic, when it is composed of the dead remains of organisms (fossils). That's called fossiliferous limestone, or fossil-rich limestone, but regular limestone is just chemical.
Which type of rock can be formed by chemical reactions?
limestone
What type of rock is Limestone made from Shells?
carbonaceous shells form limestone which in this case is a bio-chemical sedimentary rock
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.
