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.
The properties of other limestones vary depending on the type of rock; travertine, for example, is a kind of limestone popular as floor tile, while coquina is a limestone formed from broken shell debris that has a more jumbled consistency. These other limestones are harder and less fine-grained than chalk.
