| Description |
English: Fossiliferous limestone is a clastic-textured, biogenic sedimentary rock. It's usually composed of calcite (CaCO3 - calcium carbonate), but some geologically young examples consist of aragonite (also CaCO3). A typical fossiliferous limestone is grayish-colored with whole fossils, fragmented fossils, and fine-grained matrix - often mud. Most were deposited in warm, shallow, tropical ocean environments.
This specimen has brachiopods, trilobites, fenestrate bryozoans, etc. Stratigraphy: unrecorded Locality: unrecorded |
