Uses of limestone. Professor Cam Nelson. Scientifically, you know, limestone is important because it contains many fossils, and those fossils can be used to date the rock so that the geological period of time in which the limestone's formed can be determined. The same fossils can tell us a lot about the environment in which the limestone formed.

Limestone has two origins: (1) biogenic precipitation from seawater, the primary agents being lime-secreting organisms and foraminifera; and (2) mechanical transport and deposition of preexisting limestones, forming clastic deposits.

Indiana Limestone (geologically known as the Salem Limestone) is essentially a monomineralic rock con-sisting of the calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) mineral named calcite. The calcite comes from the skeletal material (about 75 percent) that form the framework grains and from the cementing material (about 20 per-cent) that binds the grains together.

The portion of the Salem Limestone that is quarried formed as underwater Sand dune fields.and partly as a result, is very pure-over 97% calcium carbonate. The limestone is soft when quarried and therefore is easily worked, but case-hardens on exposure.
