What happens to marble and limestone in a nuclear explosion?

Just about anything "exposed directly to the full heat of the reaction" would vaporize. If the floor was thick enough (depending on the energy of the explosion of course), some of what was left would melt and deeper (insulated from the intense heat) would remain unaltered. It would, however absorb radioactive particles and be hazardous for a while.
