Best Answer

Limestones are made from fragments of sea creatures that sank to the bottom of ancient tropical seas. Many limestones from Southern England are made from dissolved lime which builds up around sand grains to form tiny spheres called oolites. Limestones frequently contain fossils. Here we see a stalactite from the limestone cave system a few miles away in Ingleton.
