Carbonate classification Original from Folk 1959

Folk’s textural classification of carbonate sediments

Why classification? Rocks are classified in order to communicate information about them.

Micrite 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 impossible.
