Introduction

• Infusion of an organic substance with non-organic
  stuff makes limestone quite different from
  other natural stones found in nature. Unique and
  different properties of limestone render it as
  industrially useful natural resources with
  diverse applications.

3
Sedimentation

• The evolution of life and living creatures has
  taken place under the sea water. These living
  creatures under the water were capable of forming
  calcium carbonates in different combination and
  properties.

4
Formation of Fossils

• Thus, calcites aragonites became primary
  sources of the skeletons of the living creatures
  living in the sea and outside the water.

5
Fossiliferous Limestone

• The mingling of living creatures after their
  death with non-organic minerals resulted in
  sedimentary rocks with limestone.

Classification of Fossiliferous Limestone

• Shallow water deposits
• Deep-sea deposits
• Evaporative deposits
• Freshwater deposits
• Eolian deposits

8
Grains or Granular Limestone

• Granular design occurs naturally in
  limestone/calcite,and the primary causes are
  types of fossils embedded into the limestone
  during the sedimentation process.

9
Non-granular Limestone

• In the absence of fossil embedding in limestone,
  chemical precipitation of calcites or aragonite
  occurs.
