WHAT DOES TUFACEOUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

tufaceous

Tufa

Tufa is a variety of limestone, formed by the precipitation of carbonate minerals from ambient temperature water bodies. Geothermally heated hot-springs sometimes produce similar carbonate deposits known as travertine. Tufa is sometimes referred to as travertine; care must be taken when searching through literature to prevent confusion with hot spring travertine. Calcareous tufa should not be confused with tuff, a porous volcanic rock with parallel etymological origins that is sometimes called "tufa".
