Limestone limestone

Limestone limestone

Limestone, also known as calcareous limestone, is a sedimentary rock formed by the deposition of calcium carbonate. It is usually formed in hot springs, rivers, or lakes and is known for its porous and lightweight properties. The formation process of limestone involves mineral rich water flowing over the surface, and as the water evaporates, calcium carbonate gradually deposits, forming a layered rock structure. It is currently housed in the UAIC Museum of Minerals and Petrography.
