Yes, Limestone is a calcitic sedimentary rock. Its mostly made up of Calcium Carbonate.
CaCO3 (Calcium Carbonate)
The mineral made up of a calcium compound and commonly found in marble is called calcite. Calcite is a carbonate mineral composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and is often the main component of marble, providing its characteristic white color.
Limestone is not igneous; it is a sedimentary rock. Limestone is a common sedimentary rock of biochemical origin. It is largely composed of calcite. Sometimes it is almost pure calcite but more often it is mixed with many other minerals and sand.
Marble is made from metamorphosing carbonate rocks such as limestone, so it's composition is mostly calcium carbonate (like Tums, it fizzes when acid is poured on it). Slate is made from metamorphosing shale (a sedimentary rock made from small flat clay grains).

It is made up of carbon, oxygen and calcium. A carbonate contains oxygen and carbon so you know that, and then you can see that as it is called calcium carbonate it also contains calcium. :)
No, it is not flaky . it is calcium carbonate , a sedimentary rock. it's made of shells of animals.
Chalk is CaCO3. The chemical name for chalk is calcium carbonate. It is a porous sedimentary rock, and is also a type of limestone. The White Cliffs of Dover are actually made from chalk.
Hematite is not made from calcium carbonate.
calcium carbonate, CaCO3
CaCO3 (Calcium Carbonate)
No.It is made of calcium and carbonate
calcium carbonate, CaCO3
Calcium carbonate is made of the elements calcium, carbon, and oxygen.
stromatolites
No. Limestone is Calcium Carbonate. Limestone plus water makes wet calcium carbonate. With a very slight amount of calcium carbonate dissolving.
