inorganic limestone ???
Okay, all limestone is inorganic, what I mean is that I'm aware of
shellfish and other marine creatures making parts of their bodies from
calcium carbonate. When they die, this falls to teh sea bottom and,
ultimately, forms into limestone.
What I would like to know is whether there is any other mechanism
which can form limestlne. Is there a non-biological process?
