earth's crust and the accumulation of undersea limestone. Make
the limestone at the point of the lift. Influenced by
temperature changes and sunlight. As a result, it breaks into
small lumps. Then it rolled down and mixed with other types of
rocks, with the remains of marine life mixed in as well. Then
later there was a new bonding process using limestone as the
connecting link. When the earth's crust moves and pushes itself
up to the surface of the earth again Therefore, a limestone reef
with rounded pebbles was found containing fossils such as
corals, gastropods, bivalves, brachiopods, ammonites, flying
snails (Alatoconchidae), sponges, and lilies. Marine (Crinoid),
