It can be formed in this way, or it can be formed from calcite precipitation (mineral formation from saturated solution).
I think you are describing a type of limestone called coquina.
Limestone and chalk.
A sedimentary rock formed from deposits of shells is called limestone. Limestone is made up primarily of calcium carbonate, which is derived from the shells of marine organisms like coral or shellfish.
Skeletal remains of many sea creatures settle on the ocean floor. Here they mix with sediments and eventually become sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rock formed by shells is called limestone. Limestone is primarily made up of calcium carbonate that is deposited by the accumulation and compaction of shell fragments and other organic remains.
limestone is made underwater from the shells of animals. We know this because limestone also contains many fossils.

Limestone made from shells would be an organic sedimentary rock.

carbonaceous shells form limestone which in this case is a bio-chemical sedimentary rock

limestone, it's made of compreessed shells in the ocean.

No, it is not flaky . it is calcium carbonate , a sedimentary rock. it's made of shells of animals.
