Siliciclastic Rocks Carbonate Rocks QUARTZ arenite SHALE LIMESTONE/DOLOMITE Limestones are not single composition rocks but a group of related rocks all composed of CaCO 3 and reacting with dilute HCl acid. Limestone [CaCO 3 ] is also chemically related to dolomite [CaMg(CO 3 ) 2 ]. Because all these rocks have CO 3 -in common they are called thecarbonates. The composition of most carbonates is derived from a combination of
