Megakaryocytes form Thrombocytes ( platelets) which function in the formation of blood clotting
Megakaryocytes are huge cells that splinter into 2000 to 3000 fragments.
Each fragment is called a platelet or Thrombocyte

Limestone is a common sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation of shell fragments, coral, and other marine organisms. Over time, these organic materials can become compressed and cemented together to create a solid rock formation.
A clastic sedimentary rock.
They would only be organic if the particles or fragments are from a once living organism - sea shells, coral, etc.
Clastic sedimentary rock.
Any rock (igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic) may be broken into fragments that may later be formed into sedimentary rock.
Thrombocytes are the smallest formed elements in the blood. In my Medical Terminology book, it says "The smallet formed elements found in blood are platelets. Although they are sometimes called thrombocytes, they are not true cells, as the term erroneously suggests, but merely fragments of cells."
Footlike cytoplasmic extensions, also known as pseudopodia, are temporary protrusions of the cell membrane in amoeba and other protists. They are involved in movement and feeding by extending and retracting in a flowing manner. Pseudopodia help the cell to capture food particles and move towards favorable environments.
Thrombocytes, also known as platelets, are formed from the cytoplasm of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. Megakaryocytes undergo a process called cytoplasmic fragmentation, where they produce small, disc-shaped cell fragments that are released into the bloodstream as thrombocytes.
Platelets, or thrombocytes, are the smallest formed element in the blood. Made of cell fragments, platelets are part of the blood clotting process. Non-formed clotting factors also are critical to blood clotting.thrombocytes

Platelets are the formed elements that have a role in blood clotting, and would seal an injury to a vessel walls. The platelets are cell fragments. Platelets are also known as thrombocytes.
Platelets, or thrombocytes, are the formed element of the blood that assist in blood clotting. Platelets are cell fragments, unlike the other formed elements (white blood cells and red blood cells).
The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes). Thrombocytes are the formed element that is actually a cell fragment. Platelets are important in blood clotting.
A rock formed from deposits of shell fragment is Limestone.
Fragments of preexisting rocks.
Sedimentary rock formed from rock fragments is called clastic sedimentary rock. These rocks are made up of pieces of other rocks that have been weathered, transported, and then deposited and cemented together. Examples include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
