Qualcuno sa dirmi come si traduce in italiano "fossil-shell limestone"?
Ho trovato diversi esempio, tipo: https://books.google.it/books?id=wALjKKZfmWoC&pg=PA223&lpg=P...

Grazie!

Muschelkalk o calcare conchigliare


Explanation:
Origine organogena del calcare (roccia calcarea): Tra gli esempi fossili, le rocce calcaree del Muschelkalk ("calcare conchigliare" del Triassico della Germania) sono costituite in gran parte da resti di conchiglie di molluschi.
