Miami Limestone

Miami Limestone is a type of sedimentary rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate formed from the skeletal fragments of marine organisms like coral and shellfish. It is characteristic of the Miami area in Florida, where ancient coral reefs and marine environments created extensive limestone deposits over millions of years. This rock is often light-colored, porous, and can harden over time. Miami Limestone is used in construction, as a decorative stone, and contributes to the region’s geology by influencing groundwater flow and local land stability. Its presence is a key feature of South Florida’s natural and built landscape.
