Sedimentary - but itdoes not necessarily contain fossils to be sedimentary.
Fossils are formed in sedimentary rock because the rock is formed at temperatures that do not destroy the fossils like the igneous rocks would.
Sedimentary rock is the most common type of rock that contains fossils. Fossils are formed when the remains of plants and animals are buried in sediment, which hardens into sedimentary rock over time, preserving the fossilized organisms.
Voids left behind by once present fossils are called 'trace fossils'.
An ideal sequence of rock layers that contains all the known fossils and rock.
A rock that contains fossil seashells was most likely formed as a result of sedimentation.
Not necessarily. While nearly all fossils, including seashells, are found in sedimentary rock, most sedimentary rock does not contain fossils. Even then, those fossils will not necessarily be seashells. If you do find a rock with seashells, though, you can be pretty much guaranteed that it is sedimentary.
The rock was most likely formed through the process of sedimentation, where layers of sediment accumulated over time and eventually turned into rock through compaction and cementation. The fossil seashells in the rock suggest that the area was once covered by a sea or ocean where these organisms lived and were preserved in the sediment as it solidified into rock.

It would necessarily be sedimentary rock, formed in a saltwater or freshwater environment, depending on the type of clam.

A limestone that contains fossils would be classified as an organic sedimentary rock because the fossils are of biological origin.
Limestone is a biochemical rock that can contain fossils. It is formed from the accumulation of calcite or aragonite shells or skeletal fragments of organisms such as corals, foraminifera, and mollusks. Over time, these remains can be compressed and preserved in the rock.
