What is Limestone? "Limestone" means any rock formed mostly of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3), but to geologists, limestone is only one of several types of "carbonate rocks"These rocks are composed of more than 50% carbonate minerals, generally the minerals calcite (pure CaCO 3) or dolomite (calciummagnesium carbonate, CaMg[CO 3] 2) or both How Does Limestone Form?2023年11月21日 Limestone Classification Limestone can have a number of characteristics acid testing is considered one of the most reliable field tests for limestone and calcite mineral identification Limestone Definition, Types Uses Lesson StudyCalcite as lithographic limestone: Calcite in the form of lithographic limestone from Solnhofen, Bavaria, Germany Note the fine, uniform texture that is characteristic of lithographic limestone Specimen is about 4 inches (ten centimeters) acrossCalcite Mineral Uses and Properties GeologyLimestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcite, a calcium carbonate mineral with a chemical composition of CaCO 3 It usually forms in clear, calm, warm, shallow marine waters Limestone is usually a biological sedimentary rock, forming from the accumulation of shell, coral, algal, fecal, and other organic debrisLimestone: Rock Uses, Formation, Composition, Pictures
