That would be sedimentary rock

The rock that has sand, minerals, and shells is primarily sandstone, which is a clastic sedimentary rock made up mostly of sand-sized particles. It can contain quartz grains as well as shell fragments, indicating its formation in marine environments. Understanding its composition helps geologists infer past environmental conditions.
