Explanation:
Ho cercato il termine unito a "calca" perchè non c'è corrispondenza con "riniti", non in geologia almeno. Ti allego la pagina wikipedia coi termini suggeriti. Ho scelto DUNE LIMESTONE perchè esiste una corrispondeza efficace nei motori di ricerca sia a livello lessicale sia come immagine corrispettiva in relazione al significato italiano.
