Types of Porosity in Carbonate Rocks is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Pore types in carbonate rocks can be classified as primary or secondary based on when they form. Primary pores form during deposition and include interparticle pores between grains, intraparticle pores within grains, fenestral pores from gas bubbles or algal mat decay, and shelter or growth-framework pores in reefs. Secondary pores form after deposition through processes like dissolution and include exhumed primary pores after cement is dissolved as well as vugs and enlarged fractures. Many primary and seco
