Hi all,
Quick question about limestones with animal tracks in. How? Obviously they were trundling through mud, & the mud subsequently became impregnated with CaCO3. But where did the calcium carbonte come from?
Thanks,
Mark

Here is the result of a quick google search on the Solenhofen Limestone. I don't know if it answers you questions, but it appears that they are calcareous muds to begin with.

Edge,
That's just what I'm looking for. Thank's for taking the time, mate. I must've spent an hour or so today, sifting through web pages looking for this
