Formations are created through many different types of processes . In addition to being dissolved by slightly acidic water, carbonate rocks are eroded by weathering due to rain fall and wind. Even gravity will have an affect on creating sinks or sink holes.
Limestone is made of calcium carbonate, and therefore contains the elements calcium, carbon, and oxygen.

There are some large limestone quarries found in western asia.
Limestone, limestone everywhere.

Limestone and limestone formations.
Stalactites are found in limestone caves. They are the limestone formations hanging from the roof. Limestone is calcium carbonate salts. Stalagmites are the formations growing up to the roof. (One way to remember: Stalactites have to hold on tight or they will fall and stalagmites might reach the roof one day.)
The difficulty in finding limestone depends on the type of rock formations that exist in the area searched. However, limestone is a very common rock, found almost anywhere on the planet.
It depends where you are I would search something like limestone rock formations or go to wikipedia and just search limestone! --yourwelcome-- 14
Stalactites - comprised of the mineral calcite, and although not all limestone caves contain stalactites, these formations always hang from the roofs otherwise they would not be stalactites!
•Solnhofen Plattenkalk in germany. hope that helped :)
Sedimentary rocks make up most of the formations of rocks found at the garden of the gods. Formations of deep red, pinks, and white sandstone, conglomerate, and limestone give garden of the gods it's magical appearance.
Limestone is made of calcium carbonate, and therefore contains the elements calcium, carbon, and oxygen.
Rock formations in caves are typically made from sedimentary rocks, such as limestone or sandstone. The process of cave formation involves the dissolution of these rocks by water, which creates unique formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstones.
Limestone is a rock that is about 10 percent of the total amount of all the rock formations. Limestone can be very soluble and tends to erode easily. When erosion starts the limestone can be crumbly.
