DEF

Élément entier ou fragmentaire d'organisme fossile qui se trouve dans une formation sédimentaire.

CONT

Les roches carbonatées clastiques sont formées par la cimentation d'éléments figurés qui peuvent être d'origine organique (bioclastes), ou résulter de la fragmentation d'une boue calcaire consolidée : intraclastes s'ils proviennent du sédiment même; extraclastes s'ils ont été transportés.

CONT

Les sédiments calcaires bioclastiques viennent de l'accumulation de tests et de coquilles souvent brisés (bioclastes) dans une matrice de poudre fine (micrite).
