What would happen to a coquina rock if it was exposed to high temperatures and pressure?

If a coquina rock is exposed to high temperatures and pressure, it would undergo a process called metamorphism. The minerals within the rock would recrystallize and reorganize, resulting in a new rock type known as a metamorphic rock. In the case of coquina, which is primarily composed of fragmented shell and coral pieces, these materials would likely recrystallize into new minerals such as calcite or dolomite. The original sedimentary structures of the coquina would be obliterated, and the rock would exhibit new textures and possibly foliation due to the pressure.
