It is composed mostly of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of CaCO 3. Limestone forms when these minerals precipitate out of water containing dissolved calcium. This can take place ...
Robert J. Dunham published his classification system for limestone in 1962. [2] The original Dunham classification system was developed in order to provide convenient depositional-texture based class names that focus attention on the textural properties that are most significant for interpreting the depositional environment of the rocks.
