Why are diatom shells found in ocean-floor sediments?
Diatoms are microscopic algae that have silica shells, or frustules, that are resistant to decomposition.

This accumulation is due to their abundance in aquatic environments and slow degradation rate, making them a common component of ocean-floor sediments.
