A rock composed of more than 50% calcium carbonate [CaCO3] Dolomite is a variant that is rich in magnesium Because of its solubility limestone is the most common host rock for caves
limestone
A sedimentary rock composed chiefly of calcium carbonate In some cases the calcium carbonate may have been directly precipitated from the sea-water, but much more commonly it is formed from the shells of sea creatures These shells may be whole or broken into fine particles It is not uncommon for water percolating through limestone to cause the calcium carbonate to recrystallise and form limestone which is very hard and in which the finer shell material has been destroyed
limestone

Limestone is a whitish-coloured rock which is used for building and for making cement. high limestone cliffs The local limestone is very porous. a type of rock that contains calcium (LIME2 + stone). Sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), usually in the form of calcite and, less commonly, aragonite. It may contain considerable amounts of magnesium carbonate (dolomite) as well. Most limestones have a granular texture; in many cases, the grains are tiny fragments of fossil animal shells. Much knowledge of the Earth's history has been derived from the study of fossils embedded in limestone and other carbonate rocks. Limestone is used as a soil conditioner, in the manufacture of glass, and in agriculture. Ornamental varieties are used for flooring, exterior and interior facings of buildings, and monuments
