3 of 86
Term
Though calcite and aragonite form together and in similar
environments, ancient limestones generally are all calcite. Why is
, this?
a.the atmosphere had a different composition during the deposition
of the ancient limestones
b. the composition of the forams in more recent times was
slightly different and more stable
c. aragonite forms first, is less stable, and transforms with time to
calcite
d. more of the earth was covered with the ocean during
the deposition of the ancient limestones providing a deeper
water environment more favorable to the deposition of the
calcite
Give this one a try later!
d. accumulation of the beach c. aragonite forms first, is less
sands up-current of the groin stable, and transforms with
and time to calcite
starvation of the downdrift beaches
c. yes, but you need to field check
a. a thick zone of high resistivity

and high SP under a zone of low
