Limestone—A Crucial and Versatile Industrial Mineral …

Limestone comes in many different varieties. Chalk is a very fine grained, porous marine limestone composed almost entirely of microscopic fossils. Travertine is a freshwater sedimentary limestone that has very thin, crenu-lated layers and is commonly formed at springs. Marble is a carbonate rock, usually a marine limestone, that has been
