Globigerina limestone (fossiliferous limestone, <limestone by composition: aggregate type>, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Limestone formed from pelagic sediment, specifically the ancient ocean bottom layer of soft mud, or “ooze," made from the shells of dead sea creatures belonging to the genus Globigerina. It is the chief building material of the Maltese islands. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Kalksteen die is gevormd uit pelagisch sediment, met name van de oude oceaanbodemlaag van zachte modder afkomstig van de schelpen van dode zeeorganismen van het geslacht Globigerina. Het is het belangrijkste bouwmateriaal op de eilanden van Malta. |
