limestone. A rock made up mainly of the shells or fragments of shells of megascopic (clams, oysters, snails) animals is a coquina. If the rock is composed of the shells (tests) of microscopic plants and animals it may be called chalk. Limestone can be a hardened chemical precipitate of CaCO3 without an organic source, and take many forms: oolite for example.
