korallkalksten/ faksekalk


Explanation:
"korallkalksten" is used both by Nationalencuclopedin and Nordisk Familjebok, two very distinguished Swedish encyclopedias. I can also add that "kalksten-korall", if googled, is only to be found on the page cited above.

Example sentence(s):
  • fa´ksekalk, faxekalksten, sedimentär bergart (korallkalksten) bildad under äldre tertiär, för ca 65 miljoner år sedan. Bergarten förekommer i Danmark, bl.a. vid Fakse, och i s.v. Skåne. (ne.se)
