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.

Generally speaking, the farther from land sediments fall, the less calcareous they are. Some areas can have interbedded calcareous sediments due to storms, or changes in ocean currents. Calcareous ooze is a form of calcium carbonate derived from planktonic organisms that accumulates on the sea floor.This can only occur if the ocean is shallower than the carbonate compensation depth (CCD).alcareous grassland is a form of grassland characteristic of soils containing a lot of calcium carbonate from underlying chalk or limestone rock. Species of algae such as the green-segmented genus Halimeda are calcareous.
