Limestone is formed by the skeletal remains of countless minute sea creatures that died in the ancient past and formed layers on the sea floor. Given a very long time and immense pressure, the skeletal layers became solid limestone rock. Due to the earth's many upheavals, these limestone rock layers were often brought to the surface and formed part of the solid crust on which we live.
