The remains of living organisms are compressed and stuck together to form sedimentary rock, specifically a type called fossiliferous limestone. This rock is composed primarily of calcite and often contains fossils of marine organisms. Over time, layers of sediment accumulate, and the pressure from overlying materials causes the organic remains to lithify into solid rock.
