Such changes in oceanic environmental conditions will have negative consequences for marine life and organisms
producing calcium carbonate (CaCO3) structures are amongst the most vulnerable due to the additional costs associated with calcification and maintenance of calcified structures under more acidic conditions.
Those chalk deposits were the result of sinking plankton that
produced calcium carbonate shells like foraminifera and coccolithophorids, As discussed in Natural Cycles of Ocean Acidification, the creation of calcium carbonate shells pumps alkalinity to depth but produces CO2 at the surface thus adding to higher concentrations of atmospheric CO2.

produced more
calcium carbonate under future ocean conditions, but had the same amount of organic carbon as in present conditions.
To make cement, you cook
calcium carbonate at high temperature,
producing 4 % of the world's carbon dioxide in two ways: through the fuel used to heat the kiln, and through the chemistry of converting
calcium carbonate to lime and carbon dioxide.
While it is a very important point for the lay person to know that the acidification of the ocean by CO2 (it combines with water to
produce dilute Carbonic Acid) can reduce the effectiveness of the
Calcium Carbonate processes at sequestering Carbon (and can even reverse it, by dissolving
Calcium Carbonate), your model chemistry seems quite simplistic.
According to Wiki, in marine invertebrates «The extinction primarily affected organisms with

calcium carbonate plates and if the genetic engineers are sufficiently talented to minimize pore space — density will be maximized and so too the rate of sinking thus maximizing carbon sequestration.
The firestorms would have
produce an enormous injection of CO2 as well as soot, and the impact crater in partially
calcium carbonate rock would have
