Excerpt

Different carbonate rock classes of various origins (namely sedimentary limestones, diagenetic dolomitic limestones, travertines, and metamorphic marbles) have been exposed and widely used as dimension stones and aggregates in different parts of Iran. Twenty percent of all Iranian decorative stone is produced in Fars Province, southern Iran. The Neyriz and Dehbid-Bavanat areas are the most important centers of rock production in the province. …
