Limestone with Fossils |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Limestone is a sedimentary rock that forms either by the accumulation of shells, shell fragments, or coral fragments, or by the crystallization of the mineral calcite from water. The first kind, called fossiliferous limestone, can provide geologists with a record of the evolution of prehistoric animals. Geologists call limestone containing large fragments of shell or coral coquina. | ||||||
