calcitic
Like limestone rock
Calcitic describes something composed of or containing calcite, a crystallite mineral form of calcium carbonate.
The term appears in geology and soil science: calcitic limestone, calcitic deposits.
Calcitic formations often result from the accumulation of marine organisms over millions of years.
