Marble is a metamorphic rock produced from limestone in the earth crust. It is formed by the metamorphism of limestone.
Turbidite is a type of sedimentary rock formed when a river carries or transports pieces of broken rock as it flows. These particles then settle down and are subjected to high temperature and pressures hence forming Turbidite.
