These rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of the remains or traces of once-living organisms. An example of an organic sedimentary rock is limestone, which is formed from the accumulation of marine organisms' shells and skeletons.
What are striped rock called?

What are rocks that form layer by layer over many years called?

What are sedimentary rock composed of older rocks called?
