If the sedimentary rock limestone is subjected to metamorphism what metamorphic rock will likely form?
Limestone can metamorphose into marble, a regional metamorphic rock, or into skarn, a contact metamorphic rock.
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!
How is marble rock made?
Marble rock is made when a sedimentary rock, which consists of limestone has undergone heat and pressure metamorphosis under temperatures in excess of 1800ºF.

Who is correct a metamorphic rock is formed from a sedimentary rock or a metamorphic rock can form from an igneous rock?
both are correct metamorphic rock can form from both.
What is the parent rock of skarn?
limestone and granite
If the sedimentary rock limestone is subjected to metamorphism what metamorphic rock will likely form?
Limestone can metamorphose into marble, a regional metamorphic rock, or into skarn, a contact metamorphic rock.
What kind of rock is likely to form where the heat from the granitic magma is conducted to the limestone country rock?
The metamorphosed limestone will most likely be a skarn or marble, both formed from contact with an intruding granitic magma.
Is skarn metamorphic igenous or sedimentary?
Skarn is metamorphic.
What is a skarns form?
The elements that move into fluid are higly souble in water. that are icompatible in carbnate rocks. The soluble elements settle around igneous rock form a skarn. Skarns can be ore bodies that incopatible elements like copper or gold.
What is the parent rock of limestone?

What is the chemical composition of skarn?
Minerals commonly present within skarn rocks include garnet, magnetite and epidote.
Examples of metamorphic rock?
Slate, gneiss, skarn, phyllite, amphibolite, schist, quartzite, marble, and granulite are all metamorphic rocks.
Where is skarn rock found?
Skarns are most often formed at the contact zone between intrusions of granitic magma bodies and carbonate sedimentary rocks such as limestone and dolostone.
