What is a natural resource burned to get energy and formed from the remains of organisms that lived long ago?

How is asphalt formed in the rock cycle?
Asphalt is not a rock, but is produced from the remains of fossilized organisms.
What type of sedimentary rock is formed from the remains of living things?
Organic sedimentary rock is comprised of the remains of once living organisms.
Is limestone made up of fragments of granitic and andesitic rocks?
No. Limestone is formed from precipitated calcite or from the shells or skeletal remains of marine organisms.
What is the source of calcite in organically formed limestone?
The remains of once living things.
What is the description of stalagmites?
stalactite- an icicle-shaped mineral deposit, usu. calcite or aragonite, hanging from the roof of a cavern, formed from the dripping of mineral-rich water. stalagmite- a conical mineral deposit, usu. calcite or aragonite, built up on the floor of a cavern, formed from the dripping of mineral-rich water.
What is liquid from the remains of marine organisms?
Fossils are formed from the buried remains of marine organisms. These organisms are under a tremendous amount of pressure and, over time, they fossilize.

How does calcite form?
Calcite is a common constituent of sedimentary rocks, limestone in particular, much of which is formed from the shells of dead marine organisms. Approximately 10% of sedimentary rock is limestone.

What sedimentary rock formed from the shells of sea creatures?
The rock would be limestone, the mineral would be calcite.
Is limestone a silicate mineral?
No. Dolomite is formed by the replacement of Calcium in the mineral calcite by Magnesium, giving the chemical formula (Ca,Mg)CaCO3. Rocks formed largely of calcite are called limestones, and those which show extensive Magnesium substitution in calcite are called Dolomitic limestones.
