Limestone, another type of sedimentary rock, forms under different circumstances than sandstones. Limestone, forming about 10% of the worldâs sedimentary rocks, are formed underwater in ancient coral reefs and from shells and skeletal fragments of living organisms.
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation of sediments. There are three basic types of sedimentary rocks. Clastic sedimentary rocks such as breccia, conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, and shale are formed from mechanical weathering debris. Chemical sedimentary rocks, such as rock salt, iron ore, chert, flint, some dolomites, and some limestones, form when dissolved materials precipitate from solution.
