Limestone

  • Limestone is the most common biogenic/chemical sedimentary rock.
  • •Generally, limestone forms by the accumulation of *CaCO3 in one of two ways:
  • •Through the growth, death, and accumulation of coral reef parts in warm, shallow oceans.
  • •Through the death and accumulation of plankton shells in the deeper ocean.

*Layers of limestone are also referred to as “Carbonates”
