Most limestones have a granular texture. Their constituent grains range in size from 0.001 mm (0.00004 inch) to visible particles. In many cases, the grains are microscopic fragments of fossil animal shells. Limestone has two origins: (1) biogenic precipitation from seawater, the primary agents being lime-secreting organisms and …
