well coral is a plant but if the plant died and hardened then it is a plant fossil
Coral is certainly NOT a rock (and even if it was, it wouldn't be igneous, which come from volcanos). Coral is: There are lots of teeny tiny creatures in the ocean called coral. They don't live long, and when they die, they leave behind their exoskeleton. This builds up over time and eventually becomes the formation commonly received as a rock.
No, shale is a type of sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation of silt and clay particles. It is not formed from the skeletons of ancient coral animals, which are typically preserved in rocks such as limestone.
Yes, a Petoskey stone is a type of sedimentary rock. It is formed from the remains of ancient coral reefs found in freshwater deposits in Michigan, USA. The stone is composed of fossilized coral, which gives it its distinct pattern.
igneous
Limestone and chalk.
Coral Rock was created in 1973.
It grows on the sea beds, but that kinda is a rock. If a coral polyp lands on a rock, I guess coral can grow there! =)
Coral Castle is made of coral rock. Coral rock is a type of limestone. Coral Castle was constructed by one man working alone over a period of twenty-eight years.
coral
the world was once under water. this gave the coral conditons to grow.
No its a plant. Umm... the above answer is not true. Coral Reef is a biome = = Oh yes and if you were talking about the stuff that grow in coral reefs, they are made of many coral polyps which are very tiny animals.
plant
Coral is actually a living thing, not a rock. Coral is not a rock at all. It is the skeletons created by anthozoans. These are a live organism. A rocklike deposit consisting of the calcareous skeletons secreted by various anthozoans. Coral deposits often accumulate to form reefs or islands in warm seas.
A ridge of rock in the sea formed by the growth and deposit of coral.
the Florida state rock is agatized coral.

A Petoskey rock is a type of fossilized coral rock, specifically a type of hexagonaria (a colonial coral) found in Michigan, USA. It is known for its distinctive honeycomb pattern on its surface, resembling the fossilized remains of ancient corals.
