The name derives from the Greenbrier River in West Virginia. Greenbrier Limestone is in some places more than 400 feet 120 metres thick, allowing it to trap large quantities of oil and gas. Since this carbonate rock erodes quickly in the region s wet climate, outcrops are not prominent and are often quarried. The Greenbrier Limestone is subdivided into six stratigraphic units. In ascending order, they are Denmar Limestone , Taggard Shale , Pickaway Limestone , Union Limestone , Greenville Shale , and Alderson Limestone . The limestones in this interval are predominantly skeletal grainstone s or packstone s. The Pickaway and especially the Union contain Oolite oolitic grainstones.

Charlestown Limestone was quarried in Charlestown, Fife Charlestown , Fife, Scotland.

The limestone in this area produced lime of such a high quality that the lime was also exported as far afield as Canada. These limestone workings have entrances which are situated along a quarry face, opposite the nearby water front and lead into sloping roads which lead to what was the working face.

Tamala Limestone is the geological name given to the widely occurring eolianite limestone deposits on the western coastline of Western Australia , between Shark Bay in the north and nearly to Albany, Western Australia Albany in the south. The rock consists of calcarenite wind blown shell fragments and quartz sand which accumulated as coastal sand dunes during the middle and late Pleistocene and early Holocene eras. As a result of a process of sedimentation and water percolating through the shelly sands, the mixture later lithification lithified when the lime content dissolved to cement the grains together. Exposed limestone formations at The Pinnacles Desert near Cervantes, Western Australia Cervantes clearly show the limestone formation through the sedimentary process. At its thickest, the Tamala Limestone comprises the massive Zuytdorp Cliffs , up to 250 m high, extending for 150 km between Kalbarri, Western Australia and south of Steep Point, Western Australia Steep Point . Commercial uses Because of its ready availability, Tamala Limestone is used extensively for landscaping and building in Western Australia and particularly for the main population centre of Perth, Western Australia Perth . The two main sub types quarried commercially are Carabooda Limestone and Moore River Limestone . The Carabooda type is from the Wanneroo, Western Australia Wanneroo Yanchep, Western Australia Yanchep region close to Perth. It has a creamier colour and is slightly denser than Moore River limestone which comes from the area around Guilderton, Western Australia Guilderton and which is darker and more textured.

The Aymestry Limestone is an inconstant limestone deposited in a warm shallow sea near the eastern margin of the Iapetus Ocean . It occurs in England in the Ludlow series of Silurian rocks, between the Upper and Lower Ludlow Shales. It derives its name from Aymestry , Herefordshire , where it may be seen on both sides of the river Lugg . It is well developed in the neighborhood of Ludlow it is sometimes called the Ludlow limestone and occupies a similar position in the Ludlow shales at Woolhope , the Abberley Hills , May Hill and the Malvern Hills AONB Malvern Hills . In lithological character, this limestone varies greatly in one place it is a dark grey, somewhat crystalline limestone, elsewhere it passes into a flaggy, earthy or shaly condition, or even into a mere layer of nodules. When well developed it may reach 50 ft. in thickness in beds of from I to 5 ft. in this condition it naturally forms a conspicuous feature in the landscape because it stands out by its superior hardness from the soft shale s above and below. The most common fossil is Pentamerus Pentamerus knightii , which is extremely abundant in places. Other brachiopod s, coral s and trilobite s are present, and are similar to those found in the Wenlock limestone.

The Magnesian Limestone is a suite of rocks in north east England dating from the Permian period. The outcrop stretches from Nottingham northwards through Yorkshire and into County Durham where it is exposed along the coast between Hartlepool and South Shields . ref British Geological Survey 1 625,000 scale geological maps North and South sheets 3rd edition 1979 ref The term has now been discontinued in formal use though it appears widely in popular and scientific literature on the geology of northern England. The Magnesian Limestone is now incorporated within the Zechstein Group . In the southern part of its outcrop, the former Lower Magnesian Limestone is now referred to as the Cadeby Formation . Overlying this it is the Edlington Formation formerly the Middle Permian Marl and above this the Brotherton Formation formerly the Upper Magnesian Limestone . In the north, the Lower Magnesian Limestone is now referred to as the Raisby Formation and the Middle Magnesian Limestone as the Ford Formation. The Upper Magnesian Limestone is replaced by the Roker Formation in its lower part and the Seaham Formation in its upper part with the Edlington formation between them, though in the Durham area this last is replaced by the Fordham Evaporite Formation and the Seaham Residue. Much of the Magnesian Limestone is dolomite , i.e. calcium magnesium carbonate, and has been for many years the main source of dolomite rock in Britain. It is used in connection with the production of refractory bricks but also for aggregate for road building and other construction purposes. It is also used in the production of agricultural lime. ref Aitkenhead, N. et al 2002.
