Yes, silica can be found in some seashells, primarily in the form of siliceous materials. While most seashells are composed mainly of calcium carbonate, certain marine organisms, like diatoms and some sponges, utilize silica to form their structures. These organisms can contribute to the silica content in marine sediments, but silica is not a primary component of typical seashells.

Not necessarily. While nearly all fossils, including seashells, are found in sedimentary rock, most sedimentary rock does not contain fossils.
