What else can I help you with?
What rock is a small sea animals shell and are pressed in to this kind of rock?
corals.
How do fossils end up in sedimentary rocks?
fossils are small living organisms that existed millions of years ago. They mostly have a shell which is the fossil that you can sea. Sedimentary rock is formed when lots of small particles and pieces of rock and often dead organisms, (the fossils) drift down to the sea bed and over millions of years get compressed together to form the rock. The fossil that you see was once a living shelled organism which dies and was preserved as the sedimentary rock formed
Why do rock and not fossils form sedimentary rock and not igneous rock?
Because sedimentery rock is formed under the sea, sediment collects at the bottom of the ocean, and so does a few dead sea creatures, then t gets squashed by other sediment, igneous rock is formed by lava cooling, so there is no fossils in it.
What layer of rock is formed beneath the sea?
Sedimentary rock is typically formed beneath the sea where layers of sediment such as sand, silt, and organic matter accumulate over time. As these sediments become compacted and cemented together, they form sedimentary rock.
What type of sedimentary rock formed from the remains of coral and sea shells?
Limestone and chalk.
A rock formed by deposits of shell fragments?
A rock formed from deposits of shell fragment is Limestone.
Is a shell a rock?
An unoccupied sea shell could be considered sediment, a future component of rock.
What rock is a small sea animals shell and are pressed in to this kind of rock?
corals.
A sedimentary rock that is sometimes formed by deposits of shell fragments?
Limestone is a common sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation of shell fragments, coral, and other marine organisms. Over time, these organic materials can become compressed and cemented together to create a solid rock formation.
Is a sea stack formed by erosion or deposition?
A sea stack is formed by erosion. It is created when softer rock surrounding a more resistant rock is eroded away by the sea, leaving behind a standalone pillar of rock.
Why isn't a sea shell a rock?
because it is a protection produced by an aimal
Is a shell an igneous rock?
No. Igneous means formed from molten rock- and a shell was made by a living creature- not by fire. Shells can form sedimentary rocks, such as limestone.
What are the abiotic factors of Sea Lions?
Abiotic Factor: The Sea Otter is carnivorous, so it eats mussels, etc. So, the organisms that are in a shell, the sea otter brings the shell to the surface and get a rock to crack the shell open. Obviously, the rock would be an abiotic factor. So the rock helps the otter survive by letting it eat (source of energy).
What rock is formed from shells of sea creatures?
lime stone

Which sedimentary rock is formed from the compaction and cementation of the skeletons and shells of sea organisms?
Coquina is a sedimentary rock fitting that description.
