The Good Earth, Chapter 7: Rocks and Minerals May form from the remains of dead organisms − Chalk formed from billions of coccoliths, round plates of calcite from microscopic (clay-sized) coccolithophore organisms − Chalk is a type of limestone Biochemical Sedimentary Rocks BIOCHEMICAL SEDIMENTARY ROCKS
13
The Good Earth, Chapter 7: Rocks and Minerals Two types of metamorphism 1.Contact metamorphism Changes due to increases in temperature where rocks come in contact with heat source (e.g. magma chamber) − Example: limestone around a magma chamber is baked by the heat to form marble Marble (above) and limestone have similar composition but marble typically has a larger grain size METAMORPHIC ROCKS
