Based on the following rock characteristics, identify the rock group to which the sample belongs Chalk is made of tiny fragments of marine organisms. You have a rock specimen that fizzes when dilute HCL is dropped on it The rock has flat, thin layers that can be broken apart. Rock sample that is extremely fine grained (Glassy) and also has holes. in it Crystalline rock has distinct light and dark bands (layers). Does the rock contain pebbles, sand, or smaller particles that are cemented together? Rock contains visible connecting crystalsExplanation / Answer

Metamorphic rock has flat thin layers that can be broken apart.
Igneous rock is extremly fine grained and also has holes in it.
metamorphic rock has distinct light and dark bands.
Sedimentary rocks contain pebbles,sand or smaller particles that are cemented together.
