Exercises in Carbonate Petrology - SEPM Strata
Exercises in carbonate petrology. Intraclastic rocks and calcilithite. Folk proposed the term intraclast as a descriptive word to include grains of micrite and/or cemented aggregates of other allochems formed within the basin of deposition. He differentiated intraclasts from pellets on the basis of grain size. pellets were below 0.2 mm grain size.I remove this grain size differentiation and ...

Remarkable bedding features occur in Middle Cambrian platy limestone of the Western Hills close to Beijing in NE-China, which are intercalated in a sequence of shallow water carbonates (mudstones, storm deposits, oolitic grainstones). The platy limestone beds (up to 5 cm thickness) have undergone complex diagenetic compaction and pressure solution.

Lithology Tip Sheet
packstone: a limestone composed of grains (ooids, peloids, bioclasts, or intraclasts) and lime mud (micrite). Rock is grain-supported and micrite simply fills in spaces between grains that are in contact with one another. grainstone: a limestone composed of grains, but lacking lime mud (micrite). Spaces between grains are filled with spar (cement).

D.I. Benn, in Reference Module in Earth Systems and Environmental Sciences, 2014 Influences on Particle Form Lithology. Clast form characteristics interpreted with reference to control samples can be used to reconstruct weathering histories, transport paths, and certain depositional and postdepositional processes. Clast form, however, is also strongly influenced by parent lithology.

Iron-rich sedimentary rocks - Wikipedia
Iron-rich sedimentary rocks are sedimentary rocks which contain 15 wt.% or more iron.However, most sedimentary rocks contain iron in varying degrees. The majority of these rocks were deposited during specific geologic time periods: The Precambrian (3800 to 570 million years ago), the early Paleozoic (570 to 410 million years ago), and the middle to late Mesozoic (205 to 66 million years ago).

Basics--Depositional Environments
Limestone, rock made of the calcium carbonate mineral known as calcite, can form in a variety of depositional environments, from hot spring deposits in lakes to coral reefs in the tropical oceans. Most limestone originates in shallow waters of tropical oceans, and may carry fossils of plants and animals that lived in those marine environments.

Intraclastic limestone, pelleted limestone. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reacts with water and minerals to form calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate rock (limestone) is dissolved by rainwater through erosion and carried to the oceans. There, it settles out of the ocean water, forming sedimentary layers on the sea floor.

The permeability of a rock is a measure of the rock's ability to transmit fluid (see Permeability).Permeability, measured in darcies, is a function of the size, shape, and distribution of the pore channels in the rock, the type and number of fluids present, the fluid flow rate, the length and cross-sectional area of the rock, and the pressure differential across the length of flow.
