What sedimentary rock forms inside of limestone?

One possible answer is that chert can form inside of limestone. Chert is a microcrystalline sedimentary rock that forms from the accumulation of silica-rich remains of marine organisms, such as diatoms or radiolarians. Another possibility is travertine, which is a type of limestone that forms from the precipitation of calcium carbonate from water, typically in caves or hot springs.


How does jasper form?

Jasper forms through the deposition and solidification of silica-rich fluids or volcanic ash in cracks and cavities within rocks. These fluids then slowly crystallize over time, creating the banded patterns and vibrant colors that jasper is known for.


How many different quartz are there and what are they?

Quartz has many different habits, but only one crystal system category, trigonal, and one formula, SiO2. The various forms of quartz are a product of their method of formation or exposure to radiation or impurities. Some forms are agate, chalcedony, jasper, amethyst, chert, rose, citrine, smoky, milky, moss, flint, Cat's Eye, Tiger Eye, prase, carnelian, rock crystal, and aventurine.

What is fiint?

Flint is a variety of chert. Pure chert is made of the compound Silica Dioxide, and it is usually formed via precipitation from sea water, or accumulation of Siliceous materials at the bottom of an ocean as residues of organisms with siliceous structures (shells) drop to the ocean bottom. The crystals of silica dioxide in chert are too small to be visible to the naked eye, as opposed to the large crystals of silica dioxide that make up the mineral quartz. Flint is an impure form of chert, and is believed to form a bit differently than most other cherts. Geologists believe it forms as nodules in limestone that are created as siliceous materials fill voids in the surrounding limestone, through a process called diageneses. In diagenesis, the various compounds in sedementary layers separate and combine and reform with other similar materials as the layer is compressed and metamorphosed.


What is the name of a very hard sedimentary rock that often forms in limestone?

Chert, a form of quartz, can form as beds or nodules in limestone or dolostone.


Is jasper Metamorphic?

Yes, jasper is a type of metamorphic rock. It forms when silica-rich sedimentary rocks are subjected to heat and pressure, leading to recrystallization and the formation of the distinctive banded patterns seen in jasper.


What is the streak of a flint?

Flint is one of many forms of quartz, and its streak will be determined by impurities (non quartz) present. Quartz itself will have a white streak. Flint is a composite formed from quartz, and is not a specific mineral.


Is flint soft?

Flint is a very hard rock and forms very sharp glassy flakes when hit with another flint. Flint was used to make knife blades by early man and is the ancient remains of sea sponges and are found in layers in chalk. Flint was also used to generate a spark in tinder boxes(a predecessor to matches) and to ignite gunpowder in early firearms.
