Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Limestone is a sedimentary rock that commonly serves as a protolith in the formation of marble. When limestone is exposed to heat and pressure, it undergoes a metamorphic process and transforms into marble. Sandstone, shale, and slate are also common rocks for metamorphosis, but they do not typically form marble.
