What can limestone deposits tell scientists about the environment in which they evolved?
Limestone deposits can indicate the past presence of shallow tropical seas or marine environments. Fossils found within limestone can provide insights into the organisms that lived in these environments and help reconstruct the paleoclimate of the area. Additionally, the composition and structure of limestone can reveal information about the sedimentary processes and tectonic history of the region.
How can you tell the difference between micrite and travertine?
Micrite is a type of limestone composed of tiny carbonate mud particles, while travertine is a form of limestone deposited by mineral springs, typically porous and often banded. An easy way to distinguish between them is that micrite is typically fine-grained and lacks visible pores or bands, while travertine is more porous and may display banding due to mineral deposits.
What do geological principles tell you about inclusions?
Geological principles tell us that inclusions are pieces of older rock that are included within a younger rock formation. Inclusions are helpful in determining the relative ages of rock layers, as the rock containing the inclusion must be younger than the inclusion itself. Additionally, the types of inclusions present can provide information about the environment in which the rocks formed.
What is the difference between calcite and limestone?
I think you have it confused, dolomite and limestones are not the same thing:Limestone is composed of calcite or calcium carbonate, CaCO3, and dolostone is composed of dolomite or calcium magnesium carbonate, Ca,Mg(CO3).Okla gave the chemical formula for ankerite, which is in the dolomite group.In the field dolostone and limestone are difficult to tell apart (but there crystals are fairly diagnostic)...one way is to drop some HCl on them. Limestone will fizz (effervesce) and dolostone will not...UNLESS it is powdered...then it will fizz.Source(s):Manual of Mineralogy (after J.D. Dana), 19th ed., 1977, Hurlbut and Klein.Now it can happen and find them both combined in what it's called Dolomitic limestone, which is more or less 50/50 mixture of calcite and dolomite minerals.as for carboniferous limestone, limestone is a very abundant formation, it's not exclusive to one era or one location and it can be very variant from one place to another, you have to be more specific about where this carboniferous limestone is located!
What are the three kinds of rocks tell how each formed?
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary are the three types of rocks. Sedimentary is formed when layer of mud or silt build up gradually. Igneous is formed when molten magma cools. Metamorphic is formed when a type of rock changes to another type

What hints could you tell how stalactites has formed?
Stlactites are the conical deposits that form at the roof of the cave and hang downward so when you see the mineral deposits on the ceiling forming there is your hint a stalactite is forming
How can you tell limestone is igneous?
Limestone is not an igneous rock, it is sedimentary.
Tell me what Jamaica natural resources?
Bauxite, limestone
How can you tell the difference between limestone and quicklime?
Quicklime reacts with water, limestone doesn't. That's probably the fastest way.
What does a bankbook tell you?
Basically your deposits and withdrawals and your present balance.
Might there be ice deposits near the moon's south pole?
There are probably ice deposits near the Moon's south pole. Scientific instruments have indicated it is there. However, until it is possible to examine some directly and calibrate our instruments with such a totally different environment from Earth's, it is hard to tell just how much might be there.
What is a sure test for limestone?
If you go to pioneer, which I know you do, Mr. Bernardin can tell you.
What does a bank do with deposits made by the average citizen?
i know the answer but i want you to tell the answer
Is GE Capital FDIC insured?
Not that I know. When you open an account they even tell you that your deposits are not FDIC insured. Not that I know. When you open an account with "GE Interest Plus" they even tell you that your deposits are not FDIC insured.
What can minerals tell you about a rock?
Its age, how it was formed, and where it was formed
What evidence is there that the limestone might have reacted with the rainwater?
Im actually asking the same question tell ne?
