What does OOLITE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A type of limestone made up of tiny, rounded grains that formed in layers around a central core, resembling fish roe.
Oolite forms in shallow, wave-agitated water where calcium carbonate builds up in concentric layers around a grain of sand or shell fragment, creating small rounded particles called ooliths. Geologists study oolite deposits to understand ancient shorelines and warm, shallow seas, since the rock only forms under specific conditions. Many older buildings were constructed from oolite because it is soft enough to cut easily when freshly quarried.
