Marble is metamorphosed limestone.
Limestone is the sedimentary rock formed primarily from the accumulation of shell, coral, algal, and fecal debris produced by living organisms like mollusks, corals, and algae. It is the only rock primarily formed by living animals.
The two main types of limestone found in the Caribbean are coral limestone, formed from the skeletal remains of marine organisms like coral, and oolitic limestone, composed of small round grains called ooids. These limestone types are common in the region due to the prevalence of coral reefs and marine environments that have existed there over millions of years.
No, the limestone is not magnetic due to the magnetic fields in the stone itself.
Well, isn't that just fascinating? Sedimentary rocks formed from the remains of dead organisms are called biogenic sedimentary rocks. Some common examples include limestone, formed from the accumulation of marine animal shells, and coal, which comes from the remains of ancient plants. Nature has a beautiful way of preserving life in the rocks around us.
Marble is a metamorphic rock that was originally limestone that went under tremendous pressure and heat. Limestone is formed from bones and shells of fish, so marble is made from fish bones as well.
Marble is formed when limestone is subjected to pressure and great heat.
Because the building is made of limestone, and the shells became integral to the limestone as it was being formed, but they don't erode as quickly as the limestone in the rain.
Shell+Stone= Limestone on Doodle God.
Oolite is sometimes also known as 'Egg Stone'. It is a limestone formed from ooids, spherical grains found in concentric layers.
Limestone is a sedimentary stone. This means it is naturally comprised over time from other natural substances such as shells and skeleton pieces that may have been formed on the sea bed.

Limestone is the sedimentary rock formed primarily from the accumulation of shell, coral, algal, and fecal debris produced by living organisms like mollusks, corals, and algae. It is the only rock primarily formed by living animals.
shell + stone = limestone!
Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed of calcite or calcium carbonate deposits from ancient sea life. Sandstone is a metamorphic rock formed from sand which has been solidified by some geologic process. Quartzite, for example, is a type sandstone formed from solidified grains of quartz sand.
Marble is a natural stone product made from metamorphic rock. It is formed from the recrystallization of limestone under high heat and pressure.
