Calcite: calcite forms and is stable at the Earth's surface. Some calcite is formed from precipitation, but much of the calcite in sedimentary rocks is formed by biological activity. Many marine organisms secrete skeletal material (shells) of calcite.In addition to these three most abundant minerals, some sedimentary rocks also contain the iron oxides hematite and limonite, and small amounts of feldspars and micas.any marine organisms secrete skeletal material (shells) of calcite.

Like most other sedimentary rocks, most limestone is composed of grains. Most grains in limestone are skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral or foraminifera.Other carbonate grains comprising limestones are ooids, peloids, intraclasts, and extraclasts.These organisms secrete shells made of aragonite or calcite, and leave these shells behind after the organisms die.imestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3).
