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.
