The particles in shell limestone are primarily fragments, specifically the remains of shell material from marine organisms such as mollusks and corals. These fragments are typically composed of calcium carbonate and can vary in size and shape. Over time, these shell fragments accumulate and undergo lithification, forming the cohesive rock known as shell limestone.

What are the black specs in nutmeg seasoning?

The black specs in nutmeg seasoning are typically fragments of the nutmeg seed itself, which can include the outer shell or other plant material. These specks are natural and do not indicate spoilage or contamination. Nutmeg is often ground from whole seeds, and the presence of these particles is common in freshly ground or less refined nutmeg products. If the seasoning is finely sifted, the black specs may be less noticeable.
