Which sedementray rock is composed of fragment skeletons and shells of sea organisms compacted and cemented together?
limestone
What sediment consist of mostly microscopic shells and hard parts of organisms?
The sediments that do consists of mostly microscopic shells and hard parts of organisms is Clay.
Sedimentary rock made of quartz?
Sedimentary rock is composed of a variety of sediments, ranging from clay sized particles to boulders, which have been compacted and cemented together. Chemical sedimentary rocks can be principally composed of precipitated calcite, gypsum or halite. Organic sedimentary rock can consist of shells or partially decomposed plants.
What organic sedimentary rock is made of microscopic shells?
Limestone and chalk.
How is it possible for a single sedimentary rock to contain rock particles animal shells and minerals that crystalized from water?
The rock particles and animal shells are sediments that were transported, then deposited in the same location; as they subsequently were compacted by the weight of additional subsequent sediment deposits from above, the water between the sediment particles was driven out. As compaction drives the water out, minerals are precipitated from the remaining mineral laden solution which bind the animal shells and rock particles together, forming rock.

Where are sedimentary rocks from?
Sedimentary rocks come from deposited sediment that are cemented together (usually in water) to form these types of rocks. The rocks are made out of weared-down shells, rocks, inclusions (rock particles) and sand as well as pebbles or other particles. Hope that helps.
