| Based on this evidence, the porosity and permeability distribution in Cenozoic limestones and dolostones from Florida and the Jurassic Smackover rocks can be considered typical for many if not most carbonate rocks elsewhere. The key to this theory is in ancient carbonate rocks, apparently formed by glaciers, that Hoffman found in Namibia. For example, topics dealing with carbonate rocks are finely divided, including short, separate entries as limited in scope as "Tufas and Travertines", "Stromatolites", "Ancient Karst", and "Cements and Cementation". |
