Pisolite
, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; pisolith diameters average 1.0 cm mineral map of bauxite forming pisoids A pisolite ( ) is a sedimentary rock made of pisoids, which are concretionary grains – typically of calcium carbonate which resemble ooids, but are more than 2 mm in diameter. These grains are approximately spherical and have concentric layers reaching 10 mm in diameter. Bauxites, limonites, and siderites often have a pisolitic structure.
