4. CARBONATE SAND Deposited high energy environment Relative abundance of marine carbonate rocks during the Phanerozoic Pattern of global sea-level change during Phanerozoic
5. OOLITE IS NON SKELETAL CARBONATE GRAINSTONES.IT’S ABUNDANCE ALSO DEPENDS ON GLOBAL SEA-LEVEL. Abundance of Oolite in Phanerozoic limestone sequences.
6. SKELETAL GRAINSTONES PALEOZOIC dominated by brachiopod,crinoidal,bryozoans and corals . MESOZOIC dominated by bivalves CAINOZOIC dominated by mollusc,brachiopod and echinoderm Diversity,abundance and composition of calcareous marine organisms
8. TEMPORAL VARIATION IN PHANEROZOIC MARINE PRESIPITATES TWO MAJOR CONTROLS ON MARINE PRESIPITATES PCO 2 Mg/Ca ratio MARINE PRECIPITATES- High Mg Calcite and Aragonite Calcite-Mg content generally low Mineralogy of marine carbonate precipitates through Phanerozoic

10. DOLOMITE PROBLEM Why dolomites are much more common than limestones in Precambrian compared with the Phanerozoic? The relative abundance of limestones and dolomites through time.
