Just what it says in the title.
Here's what I have so far:

This will make it a beetle that appears in the first cavern layer, and be tameable, but be shelled with chitin and not marble. What would I need to do to make the shell be marble? (Actually being able to use the marble ideal but optional.)

[Putnam]

After declaring the body detail plans, declare a tissue based off of the chitin template that has the line [TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:MARBLE], then use that tissue's identifier instead of CHITIN through the rest of the creature.

Alright, I'll see if that works.
