A rock outcrop is the part of a rock formation that appears above land. so if i am not mistaken this area had been covered by water. but i could be wrong

You are not mistaken, but not quite there. Limestone is laid down under water - most of the limestones (including chalk) we see formed under the sea but some formed in lakes. Their terrestrial outcrop normally occurs because their region was uplifted by tectonic action, though world-wide ("eustatic") sea-level changes can also reveal them. This is particularly true of the Chalk, because the sea-level in the Cretaceous, when it formed, was up 300metres above present.

Usually nearly ALL the rock is limestone, so the answer will depend on the size (area) of the quarry, how deep you can mine, and presence of any "trash" rock.
