Résumé : Some of the petrographic and physical characteristics of limestones which have been exposed to increasing temperatures and pressures are reviewed in this chapter. They are first considered under burial load on a moderate scale, with conditions being of the order of magnitude of slightly deformed rocks usually encountered in stable cratons or parageosynclines. Then, the behavior of the carbonate rocks is examined under oriented stress at low temperature; such conditions are well exemplified in alpine-type orogenies. Finally, contact and general metamorphism are studied; they deal with pressures reaching 5,000 atm. and temperatures of 150-700°C. © 1967.
