Micrite is a limestone constituent formed of calcareous particles ranging in diameter up to four μm formed by the recrystallization of lime mud. [1] [2] The term was coined in 1959 by Robert Folk …

micrite, sedimentary rock formed of calcareous particles ranging in diameter from 0.06 to 2 mm (0.002 to 0.08 inch) that have been deposited mechanically rather than from solution.

Some micrites may have originated when calcium carbonate precipitated as tiny grains in the water column and settled to the sea floor. Here is your basic micrite. This particular sample is …

Micrite is a limestone constituent formed of very fine grained calcareous particles ranging in diameter up to five μm, formed by the recrystallization of lime mud. Compare with the coarser …

Micrite is fine-grained lime mud made of clay-sized crystals of microcrystalline calcium carbonate. Its analogous to the matrix in a sandstone in that its present at the moment of deposition. …

2000年7月18日 · Micrite is one of the most common carbonate rocks. Most of what people call " limestone" is largely or exclusively micrite. As with clay (shale) it is deposited in generally quiet …

Micrite is a textural term for microcrystalline carbonates less that 4 μm in size. The term “micrite” is a contraction of the words “microcrystalline calcite” and was introduced by Folk (1959, p. 8) …

A large volume of any limestone is usually composed of carbonate mud or micrite. Because of the small size of the grains or crystals in the micrite, identification of their origin is difficult to …
