  Chalk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chalk (IPA: /ˈtʃɔːk/) is a soft, white, porous form of limestone composed of the mineral calcite.
Chalk hills, known as chalk downland, usually form where bands of chalk reach the surface at an angle, so forming a scarp slope.
Chalk is formed in shallow waters by the gradual accumulation of the calcite mineral remains of micro-organisms (coccolithophores), over millions of years.

 Harvard University Art Museums - Fogg Art Museum
Black chalk: A composite of carbon and clay, fl chalk has a natural cohesiveness that allows it to be cut and sawed into sticks that can be used to create firmly rendered lines of the utmost precision, yet it is also friable enough to produce large-scale drawings of great tonal breadth and range.
Red chalk: Sometimes referred to by the French term sanguine, natural red chalk is a clay that gains its color from iron oxide, also known as hematite.
Red chalk can produce broad, soft, and fluent gradations of tone, and because it is less friable than fl chalk, and thus unable to readily cover large-scale areas of paper with unbroken tone, tends to be used for drawings that are on a relatively modest scale.
