The only good example of this is chalk, which is made from the compacted shells of tiny marine organisms called diatoms. Other than that, animal and plant remains do not tend to form rocks, although the hard parts may form fossils.

What type of rock formes undergroundfrom particles of other rocks and the remains of dead plants and animals?
A sedimentary rock forms from rock particles cemented (compacted) together. If the remains of dead plants and animals are preserved in the rock, they become fossils. If the remains break down into carbon, oils, or gases, they become fossil fuels.
What sedimentary rocks are formed from the remains of plants and animals?
Organic Sedimentary Rocks are formed from remains of plants and animals.
Sedimentary rocks that are formed partially by animals and plants are called what?
Biogenic Sedimentary Rocks
What sedimentary rocks where formed from the remains of plants and animals burned as fuels?
shells, bones and fossils
What type of rock forms where the remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers?
organic sedimentary
Describe how clastic sedimentary rock differs from chemical and organic sedimentary rock?
Clastic sedimentary rock forms when fragments of preexisting rocks are compacted or cemented together. Organic sedimentary rock forms from the remains of plants or animals. Chemical sedimentary rock forms when minerals precipitate from a solution or settle from a suspension.
Write the terms in the correct order in the flowchart to show how a clastic sedimentary rock forms?

Sedimentary rock made of quartz?
Sedimentary rock is composed of a variety of sediments, ranging from clay sized particles to boulders, which have been compacted and cemented together. Chemical sedimentary rocks can be principally composed of precipitated calcite, gypsum or halite. Organic sedimentary rock can consist of shells or partially decomposed plants.
What sedimentary rocks are formed from the remains of plants and animals?
Organic Sedimentary Rocks are formed from remains of plants and animals.
Sedimentary rocks that are formed partially by animals and plants are called what?
Biogenic Sedimentary Rocks
What are organic sedimentary rocks made from?
Plants and Animals
What sedimantary rock made of?
Sedimentary rocks are made of various materials such as mineral fragments, organic matter, or chemical precipitates. These materials accumulate over time in layers and become compacted and cemented together to form rocks like sandstone, shale, or limestone.
What are the remains of plants and animals that have been preserved in sedimentary rock?
FOSSILS
What are animals or plants preserved in sedimentary rocks?
I would say fossils .
In what are Specimens of plants and animals are preserved in?
Tar pits, ice, and sedimentary rock.
Can plants and animals for sedimentary rock?
If you meant form instead of for than yes!
