Summary

[edit]
Description
English: (cross-section view; ~4.5 centimeters across at its widest)

The structure seen here is a stylolite, a pressure dissolution feature that frequently has the appearance of a hospital EKG reading. These occur in many limestones, dolostones, and some marbles, especially in or near orogenic belts.

The host rock is limestone, a biogenic sedimentary rock composed of calcite (CaCO3 - calcium carbonate). Most limestones form in ancient, warm, shallow ocean environments.
