piedra caliza carbonífera

piedra caliza carbonífera

A sedimentary rock laid down in the geological period 280-345 million years bp (the carboniferous period). Has a calcium carbonate content of at least 80% meaning it was laid down in highly productive, warm, shallow seas which provided the necessary skeletal remains. Characterized by thick, well-jointed beds which are pervious and allow rapid carbonation leading to karst scenery.
