Fossils.
Minerals seeping into an organisms remains form fossils. sediment
A fossil formed in this way is called a petrified fossil. It occurs when minerals gradually replace the organic material in an organism's remains, creating a stone replica of the organism. This process is known as petrification.
Common minerals found in speleothems include calcite, aragonite, gypsum, and halite. These minerals form in caves through precipitation from water seeping through cracks in the rock and dripping from the ceiling. The specific mineral composition can vary depending on factors such as the cave environment and the chemical properties of the water.
Crude oil comes from these remains but it takes a very long time for them to form.
The remains of plankton and marine organisms form oil and natural gas through a process that involves heat, pressure, and time under specific geological conditions. These fossil fuels are then extracted from underground reservoirs to be used as energy sources.

Limestone
This process is known as fossilization, where the organic material of living organisms is replaced with minerals. Over time, these minerals harden to become rocks, preserving the structure of the original organism. Fossils provide valuable information about ancient life forms and the history of the Earth.

Minerals take million of years to form. this lengthy process happened when heat and pressure acts on the remains of plants buried under rocks and soil. Which were then decomposed by micro organisms. the plant that grew again on that rich soil also got buried by the rocks and soil. In this way, layer after layer of plant remains got buried deeper and deeper, on the top of the other and after million of years the minerals are formed.
Organic sedimentary rock is comprised of the remains of once living organisms.

Yes, minerals combine to form rocks. Rocks are composed of one or more minerals, along with other materials like organic remains or volcanic glass. The arrangement and composition of minerals in a rock determine its properties and classification.
