Product Information

For example, coral grains are more common in high-energy environments (characterized by strong currents and turbulence) while bryozoan grains are more common in low-energy environments (characterized by quiet water). Peloids are structureless grains of microcrystalline carbonate likely produced by a variety of processes. The most common type of limestone is CaCO3, which makes it a great choice for buildings, roads, and other infrastructure.

Using our high-purity limestone and dolomite deposits from Derbyshire, we produce quality products suitable for numerous applications. Fossils of charophyte (stonewort), a form of freshwater green algae, are characteristic of these environments, where the charophytes produce and trap carbonates. Limestones also show distinctive features such as geopetal structures, which form when curved shells settle to the bottom with the concave face downwards. Because limestones are often of biological origin and are usually composed of sediment that is deposited close to where it formed, classification of limestone is usually based on its grain type and mud content. Secondary calcite deposited by supersaturated meteoric waters ( groundwater) in caves is also sometimes described as travertine.If you are wearing a respirator or other mask, it will protect your lungs from the damage that can come from inhaling this kind of dust.

Lime is also an effective natural insecticide and fungicide that has been shown to benefit plants and crops. Lime may be used in the following ways as a natural insecticide and fungicide: To repel flies and other pests, sprinkle lime around the edge of your garden. Deposition is also favored on the seaward margin of shelves and platforms, where there is upwelling deep ocean water rich in nutrients that increase organic productivity.We and our partners use data for Personalised ads and content, ad and content measurement, audience insights and product development. The lack of deep sea limestones is due in part to rapid subduction of oceanic crust, but is more a result of dissolution of calcium carbonate at depth.
