Organic sedimentary rocks like coal and some limestones, are composed of particles created by life processes. In the case of coal it is plant remains.
Sedimentary rocks develop from sediments such as mud or sand, usually in the bottoms of lakes or the ocean but sometimes on land, that turn into rock.
