I am looking for sketches/diagrams to show how limestone rocks formed. Websites?? Anything?

Question

I am to draw a series of sketches to show how limestone rocks formed. I do not know how they originate, so I can't begin my drawings. If I better understood the process, I could, but the info I am finding is not detailed enough. My professor is very thorough, and expects me to be as well. Any help?

Answer 1

Limestone rocks are sedimentary rocks that are made from the mineral calcite which came from the beds of evaporated seas and lakes and from sea animal shells. This rock is used in concrete and is an excellent building stone for humid regions.

I could not find any diagrams for you but my explanation I hope helps paint a picture in your mind how they form.
