Wikipedia is pretty clear that it's finely ground fossils. (It also says that it's sedimentary rock, as is necessary for fossils. Fossils can't be volcanic rock; their structure would be destroyed by melting.)

They also aren’t necessarily ground (the fossils) - and are made of silica.

Breathing it for long periods of time wouldn’t be ideal.
