No one discovered calcium carbonate!!! It has been there since pre-history.

The ancients and modern people know it as 'limestone' or 'chalk'.

It has been known since pre-Roman times that it would react with an acid.

Its chemical formula is 'CaCO3', that is one calcium atom , one carbon atom and three oxygen atoms.

It is a very useful substance. It can be used for reducing the acid level in the ground for growing plants. It can be used for metal reduction. If you have acid reflux (heartburn) , then powdered calcium carbonate will reduce the reflux.
