Difference between Limestone and Stratigraphy

Limestone vs. Stratigraphy

Limestone is a sedimentary rock, composed mainly of skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, forams and molluscs. Stratigraphy is a branch of geology concerned with the study of rock layers (strata) and layering (stratification).

Similarities between Limestone and Stratigraphy

Limestone and Stratigraphy have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Depositional environment, Fossil, Jurassic, Mineral, Sedimentary rock, Utah.

Depositional environment

In geology, depositional environment or sedimentary environment describes the combination of physical, chemical and biological processes associated with the deposition of a particular type of sediment and, therefore, the rock types that will be formed after lithification, if the sediment is preserved in the rock record.

Fossil

A fossil (from Classical Latin fossilis; literally, "obtained by digging") is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.
