There are two types of oozes, calcareous ooze and siliceous ooze. Calcareous ooze, the most abundant of all biogenous sediments, comes from organisms whose shells (also called tests) are calcium-based, such as those of foraminifera, a type of zooplankton.

siliceous ooze A fine-grained sediment of pelagic origin found on the deep-ocean floor. It contains more than 30% siliceous material of organic origin and is usually found below the carbon compensation depth at depths greater than 4500 m. Two types of this are radiolarian oozes and diatom oozes...
