What rock i s crumbly and contains fossils?
Chalk - however, the fossils are microfossils called Coccolithophores. Limestone is a soft sedimentary rock, not exactly "crumbly" like chalk but more likely to contain fossils visible to the naked eye.
Why does chalk contain so many fossils?
Chalk is made up of tiny calcium carbonate skeletons of marine organisms like plankton. When these organisms die and settle at the bottom of the ocean, their skeletons accumulate over time and create thick layers of chalk. As the soft parts of these organisms decay, their hard skeletons become preserved as fossils within the chalk.

What is the difference between chalk and coal?
