Practical petrographic classification of limestones
Recrystallization in limestone is believed to be locally abundant but of overall minor importance Among several types of recrystallization, Geological classification systems for carbonates and mudrocks were developed to more accurately describe these sedimentary rock typesBasis for the classification is (1) relative proportion of allochems and carbonate mud, (2) sorting of allochems, and (3) rounding of allochems A complete parallel exists between these limestone types and the sequence of textural maturity in sandstones, Spectral Subdivision of Limestone Types Classification of 2011年1月1日 Classification table of carbonate rocks according to Dunham's scheme[38, 43] Carbonate rocks with little or no mud content are classified as grainstones From there, the subdivisions (Figure 6 (PDF) Classification of Carbonates ResearchGateMarble is metamorphosed limestone When it forms, the calcite crystals tend to grow larger, and any sedimentary textures and fossils that might have been present are destroyed If the original limestone was pure calcite, then the 72: Classification of Metamorphic Rocks

Classification of Sedimentary Rocks by Russell B Travis Web pages adapted from Quarterly of the Colorado School of Mines, vol 50, no 1 Texture: Limestone: chiefly calcite, massive Dolomite (Dolostone): chiefly dolomite, massive Chalk: chalky texture Tufa: very porous, friableThe original Dunham classification does not subdivide limestones with particles coarser than 2 mm, or differentiate between different types of organically bound limestone These categories of limestone are defined by Embry and Clovan in their modifications to the Dunham classification See also embry and clovan classificationDunham classification Oxford ReferenceDimension limestone is divided into three sub classifications that describe their densities in approximate ranges, as follows: Low Density Limestone having a density ranging from 110 through 135 lb/ft 3 (1760 through 2160 kg/m 3) Medium DensityLimestone having a density greater than 135 and not greater than 160 lb/ft 3 (2160 through 2560 kg Geological Classification of LimestoneFolk Classification The Folk classification, which we will use in lab, is shown belowThe classification divides carbonates into two groups Allochemical rocks are those that contain grains brought in from elsewhere (ie similar to detrital grains in clastic rocks)Orthochemical rocks are those in which the carbonate crystallized in placeCarbonates Other Rocks Tulane University

The most widely used descriptive classification to define the type of limestone found in field work is that of Dunham (1962) For the classification it is necessary to base it on the texture, structural characteristics, the relationships of the primary structural components: grains (intraclasts, granules, pelloids, wrapped grains, bioclasts and skeleton), carbonate mud and calcite cementA triangular diagram showing the relative proportions of allochems, calcite ooze matrix, and sparry calcite cement is used to define three major limestone families Family I consists of abundant allochems cemented by sparry calcite; these are the cleanly washed limestones, analogous with well sorted, clayfree sandstones and similarly formed in loci of vigorous currentsPractical Petrographic Classification of Limestones1Folk limestone classification table identifies the component (or allochemical) particles and whether the matrix is micrite or lime mud or a sparry calcite cement precipitated between the grainsShould intraclasts form >25% of the grains, then the rock is named an intraclastic limestone; if intraclasts are 25%, the rock is an oolitic limestone; if intraclasts and ooids are Classification of Carbonates SpringerLinkDownload scientific diagram Folk classification of limestones based on textural parameters and implied depositional conditions from publication: Integrated Porosity Classification and Folk classification of limestones based on textural parameters and
