  Yes; I was thinking about protecting the calcite from the
effects of the sulfuric acid sufficiently to avoid
the possibility of forming a gypsum layer,
and so avoid detection of application
of the sulfuric acid.

  Yes, I agree, good background, and I've noted that page already.
  There is also this one, which Hmmm, I wonder, might have
inspired Wolter to test slate tombstones instead of marble ones

on / in the KRS):
