A rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate CaCO3. Limestones comprise a large variety of rocks including carbonate muds and oozes, chalks, ooliths and bioclastic limestone. They form in a variety of environments from deep sea (but above the carbonate compensation depth), temperate seas, tropical sea, lakes and rivers. Most caves are found in limes...

A sedimentary rock consisting primarily of calcium carbonate (the mineral, calcite). Limestone is generally formed by accumulation, mostly in place or with only short transport, of the shells of marine animals, but it may also form by direct chemical precipitation from solution in hot springs or caves and, in some instances, in the ocean.

A sedimentary rock made of calcium carbonate. In the Knockan Crag area this type of rock is known as Durness limestone after the village on the north coast. It tells us that this part of Scotland was once near the equator since limestone can only form in warm shallow water: there needs to be a certain temperature and lots of light for the chemical ...
