Talk:Carbonate rock

Heading text
LEAD SECTION The fact that carbonates are predominantly formed in marine environments (~ 90%) is absent. Also that through geological time, there have been calcalitic and aragonitic seas. Another large omission to this section is that carbonates form both abiotic and biotically.

BODY SECTION Suggested headings for the body 1.  How carbonate rocks form [abiotically, biotically-induced(mircobial, ppt) and biotically-controlled (skeletal)] 2.  How these rocks are classified(Dunham, Folk) 3.  Carbonate rock-forming geological structures (sinkhole, karst, reefs, shoals) 4.  Carbonate rock alternation(meta-sedimentary, metamorphic and dissolution) 5.  Carbonates as a Resource (Hydrocarbons, et al)

REFERENCES - Currently there are no references.

I would like to edit this section by adding the headings and the missing items described above. I would also like to source reference mater to provide the missing citations. Much of this reference material could come from the 2 sources below:

1.  Origin of Carbonate Sedimentary Rocks, Noel P. James and Brian Jones, Wiley, 2016

2.  Sedimentary Rocks in the Field:  A colour guide, Dorrik A. V. Stow, CRC Press (no year given)

3.  Shallow-marine carbonate facies and facies models ME Tucker - Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1985 - sp.lyellcollection.org

Let me know what you think of my suggested edits. My goal is to improve but to be respectful of the original authors. ObliqueFault (talk) 04:11, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
