What is organic limestone?
Rock that is made from cemented animal bones and shells is what organic limestone is.Specifically, the term "organic" indicates that the rock in question contains parts from a once-living animal. Hard parts such as bones and shells may cement together. The minerals - such as calcite - which make up these hard parts will form into limestone. In comparison, chert will form from the silica-based skeletons of microorganisms that die in such watery environments as lakes and oceans.
What sedimentary rock formed from the shells of sea creatures?
The rock would be limestone, the mineral would be calcite.
What sedimentary rock is made from pebbles?
Conglomerate consists of cemented pebbles of various sizes.
What 3 kinds of sedimentary rocks make up coquina?
Coquina is a sedimentary rock made up of shells, shell fragments, and skeletons of small marine creatures.
What is limestone and chert?
Limestone is a boigenic rock. It is formed as a byproduct of living things, frequently it is made from the calcareous skeletons of living creatures. If we take the Chalk as a limestone, this was made in a warm shallow sea from the shells of microscopic plankton as they died and sank to the sea floor. However along with the calcareous shells, there were also shells of diatomic plankton which are made out of silicon dioxide (quartz). After deposition as the chalk was compacted by the overlying sediments that were laid down on top of it and it became buried, the water it contained became heated and the skeletons of the silicious diatoms dissolved in the water and then were redeposited as layers of "Chert" or "Flint" in the Chalk.
Is limestone from shells chemical organic or clastic?
Limestone made from shells would be an organic sedimentary rock.
What organic sedimentary rock is made of microscopic shells?
Limestone and chalk.
Is limestone an organic and chemical sedimentary rock?
Limestone made from shells would be an organic sedimentary rock.
Why is limestone called a organic rock?
Limestone is not generally referred to as an organic rock. It is primarily composed of calcium carbonate, which is a mineral. However, in some cases, limestone can contain remnants of organic matter such as shells, coral, or other marine organisms, which can give it a slightly organic origin. This is why some people may refer to limestone as an organic rock.
What can organic sedimentary rock formed from layers of bones and shells form?
Limestone
What type of rock is Limestone made from Shells?
carbonaceous shells form limestone which in this case is a bio-chemical sedimentary rock
A type of organic sedimentary rock made of the mineral calcite and formed largely from the shells of ocean animals?
Any Type Of Limestone
Is limestone made from clastic organis or chemical?
A purely chemical sedimentary limestone would contain no fossil remnants, organic limestone would.
What sedimentary rock is made underwater from the shells of animals?
limestone is made underwater from the shells of animals. We know this because limestone also contains many fossils.
