Some rocks are made of matter that was never living (e.g. meteoric rocks, igneous rocks, moon rocks) and some rocks are made of matter that was once part of living things (e.g. limestone rocks, marble rocks, iron ore rocks) and some rocks might be a mixture of matter that was never living and matter that was once part of living things (e.g. sandstone rocks, mudstone rocks, shale rocks, slate rocks).
