  • Coquina: The Shell Fragment Limestone - Formation, Characteristics & More
    The sedimentary rock formed by deposits of shell fragments is called coquina.

    Here's why:

    * Coquina is a type of limestone.

    * It's made up of loosely cemented shell fragments, often from marine organisms like clams, oysters, and snails.

    * The fragments can be small or large, and the rock's texture can be coarse or fine.

    * Coquina often forms in shallow, warm water environments where organisms thrive.
