what type of rock is limestone made from dissolved calcite
The metamorphic rock we selected was marble, which is formed from limestone and contains dolomite and calcite as the two main sediments. Great question! Unfortunately, I can't give an easy answer to this one. Before we continue, let's agree on some basics: calcium is an element, calcite and dolomite are minerals, and limestone is a sedimentary rock which can turn into the metamorphic rock called marble if the right conditions occur.
