What kind of limestone might be deposited in Mammouth Caves?
CALCITE - cryastaline calcium carbonate precipitated from the ground-water that had dissolved it from the limestone above the cave. Calcium Carbonate is the primary constituent of limestone.
What is limestone made out of?
Limestone is made of the shells of dead ocean organisms. Their shells are made of calcite.Hope i helped1 :)
Can precipitate calcite be found in caves?
Stalactites and stalagmites are precipitated calcite.
What rocks have calcite in them?
Limestone and Marble have calcite in them.
What rock is composed by mineral calcite?
Gabro is made of calcite and sometimes seashells. sorry if this is not right but i only went on to get the answer.!.
Is limestone made from precipitated calcite a chemical rock?
limestone is mostly seashells
Is limestone made up of fragments of granitic and andesitic rocks?
No. Limestone is formed from precipitated calcite or from the shells or skeletal remains of marine organisms.
What type of material is Limestone?
It is a carbonate sedimentary rock, composed of precipitated calcite or shells and shell fragments composed mainly of calcite, calcite being composed of CaCO3.
Is a limestone made from precipitated calcite clastic?
No. Granite is igneous, formed from slow-cooling felsic magma.
What are stalacities?
Depoists of calcite precipitated from solution in the ground-water feeding them. The calcite (crystalline calcium carbonate) has been dissolved from the limestone around the inlet.
Where in caves do you find calcite?
Precipitated as stalactites, stalagmites etc - and it is the primary constituent of the limestone in which the vast majority of caves form!
Limestone is made from?
It is mostly calcite.

What is chemical limestone made of?
Chemical limestone can form when calcite is dissolved.
Are there 2 types of groundwater deposition in limestone caves and what do they have in comin?
The primary one is calcite precipitated from the ground-water that had dissolved it from the surrounding limestone, and though the deposits themselves take various forms such as stalactites and stalagmites they are all still calcite formations.
True or false is limestone formed from mud that hardens into rock?
Not 'mud', it is the remains of shells and skeletons of dead sea creatures, as well as precipitated calcite that eventually lithify to form limestone.
