sparitic limestone Explanation: . -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 mins (2008-11-04 21:20:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- calizas=limestones. espariticas=sparitic below is a link to an article of the "Latin American Journal Sedimentology and Basin Analysis", note how the term "subesparitica" is rendered "subsparitic". also "calizas" is translated as "limestones" and not "calcites". in turn, calcites should be calcitas. http://www.scielo.org.ar/scielo.php?pid=S1851-49792005000200... |

It is more coarsely crystalline than micrite, the grains having diameters that exceed 10 micrometers (Folk, 1959) or 20 micrometers (Chilingar et al., 1967, p.320). Syn: sparry calcite; calcsparite. (b) A limestone in which the sparite cement is more abundant than the micrite matrix. Syn: sparry limestone. Sp: esparita. sparry limestone A limestone containing conspicuous coarse calcite crystals.
