Carbonate Textural Classification (Durhan 1962) 

Carbonate Textural Classification (Durhan 1962)
Description: The mineralogy can be denoted by L for lime and Dol for dolomite (e.g. L Bdst or Dol Mdst). Dolomitized limestones still showing relict textures are better described as such. Therefore it is recommended to describe a dolomitized ooidal lime grainstone as a dolomite with ooidal relict texture rather than as an ooidal dolomite grainstone.
