It is a sedimentary rock, and is therefore formed when layers of sand/mud and animal remains fall to the bottom of an ocean or lake, and slowly decompose and are crushed together by the weight of the water, forming a rock. This is why sedimentary rocks often contain fossils- its those dead animals.
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.
A purely chemical sedimentary limestone would contain no fossil remnants, organic limestone would.
Limestone and chalk.
Limestone is a chemical sedimentary rock formed from the precipitation of calcium carbonate. It is primarily composed of mineral calcite, which is organic in origin but can also form through inorganic processes. So, limestone is considered both a chemical and organic sedimentary rock.
Yes, limestone is made of sedimentary rock. It forms from the accumulation of organic and inorganic sediment in layers over time, which eventually hardens into rock through the process of compaction and cementation.
Limestone made from shells would be an organic sedimentary rock.
No. Carbonates are considered to be inorganic.

Yes, mostly gravel from a landslide, and organic rocks

Limestone is a type of rock that can be either chemical or organic in nature. Chemical limestone is formed through the precipitation of calcium carbonate, while organic limestone is made up of the remains of marine organisms like shells and coral.
Sediment is made from clay, gravel, some organic matter, weathered limestone and basalt.
Sandstone is not an organic sedimentary rock, but limestone is.
Sedimentary, mainly versions of sandstone and limestone, both chemical and/or organic.
yes
