Abstract
dc:descriptionIn oolitic limestones the individual grains are microporous, and the microporosity consists of irregular equant pores 1-3 (mu)m in size which are located between the rhombic to anhedral carbonate crystals which make up the ooid cortex. These equant micropores are locally constricted to plates or tubes only 0.1 (mu)m in their short dimension (s), which are "throats" between the larger equant micropores. If the interparticle space is tightly cemented, any fluids passing through the rock must pass from grain to grain through the microporosity.
