Marine shells could be found in a variety of rocks, all of which would be of the sedimentary classification. Limestone would typically most often contain shells or shell fragments. A type of limestone containing abundant shells, marine skeletal remains, and shell fragments is called coquina.

Is limestone made from precipitated calcite a chemical rock?
limestone is mostly seashells
A rock that consists mostly of mineral quartz will have a composition very similar to?
quartz
A rock that contains fossil seashells was most likely formed as a result?
A rock that contains fossil seashells was most likely formed as a result of sedimentation.
Are seashells rock?
seashells are rocks. this would be because seashells are made out of minerals and formed by some of the same things as rocks. if you looked close enough at certain shells then you would see that seashells are alike with certain kinds and shapes of rocks.
What is limestone a form of?
The fine-grained sedimentary rock, limestone is mostly made up of calcite. Most limestones are formed in oceans, and sometimes from seashells. Some may be formed in lakes. Limestone is a form of sedimentary rock.

Is calcite a sedimentary?
Calcite is a mineral, not a rock. It can occur as part of rocks in any category. For instance, the sedimentary rock chalk consists almost entirely of calcite, the metamorphic rock marble consists mostly of calcite, and the igneous rock carbonatite consists mostly of calcite.
Do sedimantry rocks have seashells?
Not necessarily. While nearly all fossils, including seashells, are found in sedimentary rock, most sedimentary rock does not contain fossils. Even then, those fossils will not necessarily be seashells. If you do find a rock with seashells, though, you can be pretty much guaranteed that it is sedimentary.
This rock consists of lithified pieces of quartz that are the final results of the weathering of granite?
Sandstone.

quartz
What is the Plymouth Rock made of?
Magical Seashells.
What rock is made up of seashells?
limestone
Wind mostly erodes pieces of rock that are the size of what?
Sand grains or smaller.

Wind mostly erodes pieces of rock that are the size of particles or smaller?
Wind mostly erodes pieces of rock that are the size of sand or smaller. Wind erosion often is evident in areas where there are few plants to hold soil in place.
