What is sedimentary rock formed by shells?
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.
A metamorphic rock made from limestone?
Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from limestone that has undergone intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust. The process of metamorphism recrystallizes the original minerals in limestone to create the distinct crystalline structure and smooth texture of marble. Marble is valued for its beauty and is commonly used in architecture and sculpture.
What kind of magma forms limestone?
Limestone is not formed from magma; it is a common sedimentary rock. However it may be worth noting that there is a rare form of igneous rock known as Carbonatite which is formed predominately from carbonate minerals and may be confused with Marble, however it is never described as Limestone. Please see the related link.

What rock is formed when limestone is metamorphosed?
Marble is formed when limestone is metamorphosed. This process occurs when the mineral calcite in limestone recrystallizes due to heat and pressure, resulting in a denser, harder rock with a crystalline structure.

What is marble formed from?
Marble is formed when limestone or dolostone is subjected to heat and pressure deep beneath the surface, so marble is formed from limestone or dolostone.
