  • Coquina: Understanding the Shell and Coral Rock
    The rock formed from crushed shells and coral is called coquina.

    Coquina is a type of bioclastic sedimentary rock. This means it's formed from the accumulation of biological debris, in this case, shells and coral fragments. The fragments are cemented together by minerals like calcite or aragonite, forming a solid rock.

    Coquina is often found in coastal areas where there are abundant shells and coral.
