Faxe Limestone is a type of sedimentary rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate. It is named after the town of Faxe in Denmark, where it is prominently found. This limestone was formed during the late Cretaceous period, around 70 million years ago, and is known for its rich fossil content, including marine organisms. The rock is often used in construction and as a decorative stone due to its attractive appearance and durability. Additionally, Faxe Limestone is significant for geological studies, providing insights into ancient marine environments and the conditions that existed during its formation.
