This article is about an older version of DF.

Limestone has a benefit over other Template:L in that it is also a Template:L material. It is also the only sedimentary Template:L to contain either of Template:L or Template:L.

As a rule, limestone tends to be more profitable in terms of ores and gems than the average layer stone, which make it ideal for Template:L.

"Limestone" is also the name of the seventh month of the dwarven Template:L, covering early Fall.
