karbonatkalk
Karbonatkalk is a sedimentary rock type in which carbonate minerals, mainly calcite (CaCO3) and/or dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2), make up the bulk of the material. It is commonly referred to as carbonate limestone, reflecting its dominant carbonate composition and its formation in marine environments. The term encompasses a variety of textures and fossils, from fossiliferous and crystalline limestones to micritic and oolitic varieties.
Formation of karbonatkalk occurs through both biological and chemical processes. In biogenic limestone, fragments of shells
Karbonatkalk often contains impurities such as clay, silica, or iron minerals, which influence color and density.
Overall, karbonatkalk represents a major class of sedimentary rocks formed in marine settings, central to both
