What rocks make schist?
Schist comes from shale. It is laminated , flaky, and found in parallel layers. The minerals in this rocks that have crystallized from the parent rock are visible.
Shell imprints and bones can be found in what type of rock?
It's always in a sedimentary rock, but mostly they will be found in a limestone. Some limestones, like the 'shelly' limestone, will be more likely to contain shells than others, like the oolitic limestone (which is not made out of shells). Again, bones will tend to be found in sedimentary rocks, but the actual bones will tend to have dissolved and been replaced by rock minerals which precipitated out of solution to fill the 'mould' left by the bone (unless they were deposited recently, in which case you're more likely to find them in unconsolidated sediment like sand/mud).
What made limestones solidify?

What rock is chert the parent rock of?

What is the parent rock of limestone?
Limestone doesn't normally have a parent rock. One exception to this may be a detrital limestone, whose parent rock would however also be limestone!
Is parent rock weathered rock particles?
No, parent rock refers to the original rock from which soil is formed through weathering processes. Weathered rock particles are the result of the breakdown of parent rock due to physical, chemical, or biological processes.

The parent rock of a particular sedimentary layer can provide clues about the history of the formation of that layer.
Which rock is called parent rock?

How does parent rock affect soil?
Soil comes from parent rock. Due to weathering the action of plant roots etc the parent rock is broken up and over many years gets incorporated into the soil. So the composition of the parent rock will affect the soil that develops over it. The soil could be lacking in certain minerals due to the parent rock. The soil could be acidic or basic due to the parent rock. But there is more to soil composition than just the parent rock.
