MONOLITH definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary

An otolith (Greek: ὠτο-, ōto- ear + λῐ́θος, líthos, a stone), also called statoconium or otoconium or statolith, is a calcium carbonate structure in the saccule or utricle of the inner ear, specifically in the vestibular system of vertebrates. The saccule and utricle, in turn, together make the otolith organs. These organs are what allows an organism, including humans, to perceive linear acceleration, both horizonta… Webooliths; pellets; In contrast, the chemically-precipitated limestones consist solely of crystalline carbonates (e.g. microcrystalline limestone). The clastic limestones can be further subdivided according to their grainsize, much like other clastic sedimentary rocks. Other chemical sedimentary rocks.
