Limestone: sedimentary rocks containing calcite. –Calcite is found in marine shells. Limestone: sedimentary rocks containing calcite. –Calcite is found in marine shells. Sandstone: sedimentary rocks made out of particles of sand, cemented together. Shale: smooth sedimentary rock made of fine clay particles. Shale has splintery layers and often contains plant fossils.

Calcite The material in the rock that reacted with the acid was calcite. Calcite is composed of Calcium Carbon and Oxygen.(CaCO3) When acid reacts with calcite, carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is given off, hence fizzing. Calcium carbonate makes up 15% of the earth's sediments. It is present in limestone, marble, marl, travertine and tufa and is the main ingredient in the shells of invertebrates.

10. These are pieces of Kaibab limestone that contain fossils of sea creatures! Can you see the fossils! Carefully observe the pictures and your sample of Kaibab limestone. The Kaibab Limestone in the Grand Canyon is 8000 feet above sea level. ~How can you explain fossils of sea creatures at that elevation? ~What evidence do you have to support your claim? 01/20/11 Rock Correlations#3
