Limestone rocks fall under the category of sedimentary rocks that are made from mineral
calcite. This rock is used to make concrete and is an excellent building stone for humid
regions.
Limestone, chemical formula CaCO3, is a white, chalky solid in most conditions. As a
sedimentary rock, it will usually contain fossils of ancient creatures. It is used extensively
in the construction industry, like in cement.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock that's also an example of a mixture. It's mainly made of
calcium carbonate. It's used widely around the world as a building material and is easily
corroded by acids.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is made of mostly calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
Limestone is popular in architecture. Even the pyramids of Egypt are made of limestone!
Limestone, a sedimentary rock which contains silica, and composed largely of the
mineral calcite. It is also 10% of the total volume of all sedimentary rocks, and many
marine organisms live on it.
Limestone, CaCO2, is a type of sedimentary rock making up 10% of all sedimentary
rocks on earth. Limestone is partially soluble and reactive and it is a main ingredient of
cement and mortar.
Limestone: Limestone is a sedimentary rock made from the mineral calcite (calcium
carbonate) and sediment. It is used as a building material, either as limestone blocks or
mixed with concrete.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock. It is primarily made up of silica and calcites. The main
calcites are marine organisms. Limestone is easily eroded either by water or by other
organisms
Limestone makes up about ten percent of the total volume of all sedimentary rocks.
Limestone is partially soluble, especially to acid. Limestone is used in architecture
around the world.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of mineral calcite. It often contain
silica in the form of flint and varying amounts of clay and sand as layers in the rock.
Limestone contains different amounts of silica, clay, silt and sand. The primary source of
the calcite in limestone is most marine organisms. Limestone makes up about 10% of the
total volume of all sedimentary rocks.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of the mineral calcite. It constitutes
approximately ten percent of sedimentary rocks exposed on earth’s surface and is used to
make cement and concrete.
Limestone makes up about 10% of the total volume of all sedimentary rocks composed
largely of the mineral calcite. It contains silica, clay, silt and sand as dissemination,
nodules, or layers within the rock.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock compose mainly of calcite. It is used mostly as a
building block, as you can see from many landmarks, such as Egypt's pyramids.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock made up of mostly calcite from the shells of marine
animals. Acids easily dissolve limestone; most caves are formed when weak acids
dissolve enormous limestone chunks, which become caverns.
Limestone, sedimentary rock, made mostly of calcite, CaCO3, constitutes about 10
percent of sedimentary rocks at Earth's surface. It is used in cement and concrete.
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.- http://www.britannica.com/ebc/article-

Limestone - a sedimentary rock that composed mostly of calcium carbonate in the form
of calcite or aragonite, used as a building stone and in the manufacture of lime, carbon
dioxide and cement.
Limestone is a form of sedimentary rock that was commonly used in the twentieth
century as building material, it is highly reactive to acid solution, however.
Limestone is a common sedimentary rock that is composed mostly of the mineral calcite
(CaCO3). It is produced by crystallization from water, or by accumulation of shells and
shell fragments.
Limestone, a sedimentary rock, is made up mainly of calcite, which is made up mainly of
the skeletons of microsopic organisms. Limestone was also used to build the pyramids of
Egypt.
Lime stone is a type of rock that has alot of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
Limestone also contains amounts of silica. Limestone is 10% of all sedimentary
rocks.
Limestone; Limestone is a rather common sedimentary rock that is primarily
composed of the mineral calcite. The calcite has a biochemical origin in that it is
derived from the shellsof dead organisms.
Impurities in limestone, such as clay, sand, organic remains, iron oxide and other
materials, this causes many limestone’s to exhibit different colors, especially on
weathered surfaces. Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is usually formed from
the shells and skeletons of sea animals. It is used in concrete and is a great
building stone for humid areas.
Limestone is formed at the bottom of lakes and seas mostly made of sea shells. The
resulting compound is calcite with variant amounts of silica such as flint or chert.
Limestone is a good material for buildings, its durability and hardness increase's only in
warmer geographical regions
Limestone is the most important rock in construction, which is the primary source of
cements. Limestone is the best rock of finding fossils because it contains biogenic
origins.
Limestone is produced from calcium carbonate and sediment. It can be formed from sea
creatures that secrete lime. Chalk is another type of limestone. Limestone can easily be
dissolved by acids.
Limestone is a very comon sedimentary rock that has been used to make many things
including the pyramids. Limestone is composed primarily of mineral calcite from marine
orginisms
