Detailed Solution

Limestone is found in sedimentary rocks.
If the right circumstances are present, limestone, a sedimentary rock, will metamorphose into the metamorphic rock marble. Even though metamorphic rocks commonly occur deep within the planet's crust, limestone is one of the most prevalent sedimentary rocks. Carbonate-based shells are a common feature of many creatures, including corals and microscopic foraminifera. When these animals die, their carbonate shells build up in shallow oceans, where most limestone is formed.
