Abstract
Various ways in which Lower Carboniferous reef limestones have accumulated are described, and terms defining them are introduced. Regional sedimentation, lithology, structure, fauna, and erosion history are kept separate in the discussion. The reef limestones of Northern England are briefly reviewed in the light of this classification.Keywords
