Interesting Facts. Exploring the geological wonders of limestone rocks reveals fascinating insights into their formation and unique properties. Limestone, with its rich history and diverse uses, holds several interesting facts that make it a remarkable natural material.
Phosphorus-bearing rocks and sediments can be divided into two genetically distinct classes: phosphatic shales or limestones and phosphorites. Phosphatic shales are primary sediments in which phosphate nodules or micronodules have formed diagenetically by precipitation of calcium phosphates derived mainly from organic phosphorus.

Microstructural studies of limestones by SEM indicate that phosphate occurs as (a) brown infillings in boring/septal cavities of corals, (b) trapped material between algal laminations and (c) cement in pelletal limestones. Phosphate is in the form of ovoids, rods and dumb-bell-shaped apatite microparticles or their coalesced/aggregate forms or ...
SummaryThe failure of a slope in a phosphate mine by shear-sliding along a clay-filled bedding plane in limestone, and by separation across a tension crack at the back, is back-analysed. The failure cannot be explained using laboratory measured values of the shear strength parameters. In order to simulate field conditions better two 'physical …

The availability of magnesium in different magnesic limestones, Serpentine, Olivine and ammonium magnesium phosphate was studied in pot cultures using Irish Cobbler potatoes grown in a magnesiumdeficient soil as the plant indicator. In a similar manner the effect on tuber yields of the addition of calcium carbonate, magnesium sulfate, and extra potash …
The hardgrounds in the Bademseki region coated by phosphate crusts and bedded glauconitic-phosphatic limestones occur as thin and lenticular bodies between the algal limestones of the Oymapınar Formation below and the hemipelagic muddy Geceleme Formation above (Fig. 3, Fig. 5, Fig. 6).
Limestone, as used by the minerals industry, is any rock composed mostly of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3). Although limestone is common in many parts of the United States, it is critically absent from some.

Phosphatic limestones on the west end of Little Cayman, at an elevation of 3 to 4 m above sea level and ca 320 to 550 m inland of the coast, lie on top of a phytokarst surface that defines the upper boundary of the Pedro Castle Formation (Pliocene). These phosphatic limestones are formed of phosphatic lithoclasts, detrital phosphate grains, …
Limestones are of wide variety, namely with differences in the process of formation, mineralogical composition, grain size and texture. Such variability leads to differences in weathering characteristics and behaviour under different environmental conditions and applications. Therefore, detailed studies are mandatory to assess the …
