Limestone is a type of chemical sedimentary rock that is predominantly composed of the mineral calcite or aragonite. It forms primarily from the accumulation of shell, coral, algal, and fecal debris. Limestone often contains fossils and can vary in color and texture.
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.
Yes. It forms when calcite that is dissolved in lakes, seas or underground water comes out of a solution and forms crystals (precipitation). Certain limestones are also considered bioclastic sedimentary rock, as they are formed primarily of shell fragments or skeletons of marine organisms.
Three different origins for limestone are Organic, Chemical and Bio-clastic Origins.

Shell+Stone= Limestone on Doodle God.

shell + stone = limestone!
Limestone. However most large masses of limestone formed from coral reefs, not shells. The shell fossils in this limestone are "incidentals" due to shell dwelling organisms living on the periphery of the reef, not the bulk of the limestone.

A rock formed from deposits of shell fragment is Limestone.
They can, and do. Chalk and coquina are examples of limestone formed from skeletal or shell remains of marine organisms.
NO I is like a snail a shell but no bones. they wouldn't be compact enough to fit in the shell
