To share my love of The amazing Geological 'building blocks' of our wonderful blue planet.
I would love to share this with everybody residing on our planet and beyond!
Limestone is a common type of carbonate sedimentary rock. It is composed mostly calcite and aragonite
Most limestone was formed in shallow marine environments. It can be witnessed throughout many regions of the Earth's surface. Common place around the coastlines of Ireland (which is where this specimen has been collected) Most limestone has been formed by the activities of living organisms near reefs
It is very likely that this particular specimen is part and parcel of the Carboniferous era (some 300 million years ago) Fossils of coral, bivalves, and, many types of marine organisms are commonplace within sedimentary rock samples. Also the sharp eyed among you can often locate 'Hagstones' which are small pieces of Limestone with a hole right through the centre (fossil imprints from long deceased organisms)
