Limestone is composed of the minute skeletal remains of sea creatures. Slate is the compressed mud and silt deposited on the sea floor. Both limestone and slate have been subjected to tremendous pressure and have become stone. Slate easily splits into sheets and can be used as a roofing material. Limestone can be used as a building material, and as hardcore in the construction and road making industries.
