Abstract
Carbonate rocks cover one fifth of the Earth’s sedimentary cover, having great economic significance and bearing important information about the mechanisms and settings of their formation. Research into carbonate rocks allows not only the settings of ancient epochs to be reconstructed, but also to the evolution of those settings to be established. Peer-reviewed textbooks are a good source of learning materials for university students investigating the origin and specifics of these rocks.
