Calcareous

And speaking of minerally, high-acid Chardonnay wines, this is one on a fine wine level, sourced from their top three Chardonnay vineyards with calcareous gravelly dominant soils at around 1,800 feet.

The researchers analyzed the isotopic composition of oxygen in a stalagmite formed from calcareous water in a cave in southern Germany.

Although their shell may be so fine as to be transparent, it is nevertheless calcareous ; citation their shells are bilaterally symmetric and can vary widely in shape: coiled, needle-like, triangular, globulous.

At the end of this eruptive phase, an island circled by reefs was formed, its marine vestiges are evident in a calcareous layer in the area of Lameiros, in São Vicente (which was later explored for calcium oxide production).

Calcareous sediment that sinks below the lysocline dissolves, as a result no limestone can be formed below this depth.

Chaffey (p.9) Geological map of Dorset Dorset has a number of limestone ridges which are mostly covered in either arable fields or calcareous grassland supporting sheep.

Classes Sponges were traditionally distributed in three classes: calcareous sponges (Calcarea), glass sponges (Hexactinellida) and demosponges (Demospongiae).

C. sativus prefers friable, loose, low-density, well-watered, and well-drained clay- calcareous soils with high organic content.

However, almost all species of shelled mollusks are capable of producing pearls (technically "calcareous concretions") of lesser shine or less spherical shape.

In species with calcareous exoskeletons, these do not mineralize until the zooids are fully grown.

It coalesces into small calcareous ossicles (bony plates), which can grow in all directions and thus can replace the loss of a body part.

Soils are high in nutrients, overlying a shallow calcareous hardpan.

The most vulnerable marine organisms were those that produced calcareous hard parts (i.

These objects used to be referred to as "calcareous concretions" by some gemologists, even though a malacologist would still consider them to be pearls.

They are among the most common metamorphic rocks; some of them are graphitic and others calcareous.

They formed millimetre-scale conical fossils consisting of calcareous cones nested within one another; the appearance of the organism itself remains unknown.
