The rock turns the color red because of oxidization which occurs when organic material is deposited in moving water with the presence of oxygen, turning it to carbon dioxide and water. The iron will change in composition turning the remains a deep red or rusty color. On the contrary, in an oxygen depleted environment, organic material will turn a very dark color.
