limestone formed almost entirely of sorted and cemented fossil debris, most commonly coarse shells and shell fragments. Microcoquinas are similar sedimentary rocks that are composed of finer material. Common among microcoquinas are those formed from the disks and plates of crinoids (sea lilies). A coquinite is a stronger, more-consolidated version of coquina, whereas coquinoid limestone is made up of these same shell fragments within a fine-grained matrix.
