Limestone Formation. Limestone is any rock that is made mostly from calcium carbonate, but there are several types. It forms with carbonate rocks were
Read MoreWhen limestone is subjected to heat, pressure, and chemical activity, the calcite in the rock begins to transform. This is the beginning of the process known as metamorphism. Starting at a microscopic scale, the calcium carbonate in the rock begins to crystallize or recrystallize into fine-grained calcite crystals.
