An organic metamorphic rock, also known as biogenic, is composed of materials from the activities of living organisms. Coal, which is formed from undecayed compacted plant matter from ancient swamps, and Limestone, which is formed from deposits of shells or skeletal fragments that collect at the bottom of the ocean are examples of organic metamorphic rock.
