What sedimentary rocks are formed from the remains of plants and animals?
Sedimentary rocks formed from the remains of plants and animals are called organic sedimentary rocks. Examples include coal, formed from the remains of plants, and limestone, formed from the shells of marine organisms.
Which type of rock is formed from the cementing of small pieces of older rocks shells soils and dead plants and animals?
sedimentary
Sedimentary rocks that are formed partially by animals and plants are called what?
Sedimentary rocks that are formed partially by animals and plants are called organic sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of the remains or traces of once-living organisms. An example of an organic sedimentary rock is limestone, which is formed from the accumulation of marine organisms' shells and skeletons.
Which type of rock is formed from the cementing of small pieces of older rocks shells soil or dead plants and animals?
Sedimentary rock is formed from the cementing of small pieces of older rocks, shells, soil, or dead plants and animals. These fragments, called sediments, can be compacted and cemented together over time to create sedimentary rock. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale.
Rocks made from living things?
The only rock that can form in this way is limestone formed from calcium carbonate concentrated in shells and exoskeletons like corals. The rock itself comes from sediment rich in these materials after the animals' deaths.
What rocks was formed skeleton and shells of sea animals and plats in the ocean?
limestone. A rock made up mainly of the shells or fragments of shells of megascopic (clams, oysters, snails) animals is a coquina. If the rock is composed of the shells (tests) of microscopic plants and animals it may be called chalk. Limestone can be a hardened chemical precipitate of CaCO3 without an organic source, and take many forms: oolite for example.

Animals with shells on their bodies?
Arthropods are defined to be invertebrates that have an exoskeleton ( an external skeleton).
What is an external skeleton and an internal skeleton?
Skeletons:All animals, including humans have skeletons. Humans have an internal skeleton. This means that our bones is on the inside of us. When an animal has an external skeleton it means that their skeleton is on the outside. These animals who have an external skeleton have what we commonly call shells. These shells are their skeleton which keeps their insides together. If you think of one of those big crabs and how there is a shell on the outside of them (not sea shells) this is their skeleton which is an external skeleton.

What is limestone's past?
It was the skeletons/shells of living animals and plants.

Do a crab have a skeleton?
no they do not have an internal skeleton in order to grow they switch their shells
Can Plant and animals form sedimentary rock?
Skeletal remains of many sea creatures settle on the ocean floor. Here they mix with sediments and eventually become sedimentary rock.
What is the small pieces of sand rocks shells or remnants of plants and animals?
sand or soil
