The thermogravimetric behaviour in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide of pure carbonates and naturally occurring limestones has been examined. The pyrolysis curves permitted quantitative determinations of total carbonates and the partitioning thereof into dolomite and calcite. The results have been compared with those found by chemical and X ‐ray diffraction methods.
