Flint usually occurs in nodule-like formations in parallel layers in the chalk. It is black on the inside and has a white crust on the outside. Flint is also called flint. It is formed by the precipitation of silica in the sediment. This comes from the "organism skeletons" of tiny diatoms and radiolarians as well as from siliceous sponges.
