Dunham classification system is based on three depositional textural features:
Dunham classification system is based on three depositional textural features:
* The presence or absence of lime mud.
* The abundance of grains.[j]
* The presence of in situ organic binding

The original Dunham classification system composes of six classes summarized in Figure 12:

* [[Mudstone]]: a mud-supported rock with < 10% grains, and original components are not organically bounded together during deposition (Figure 13).
* Wackestone: a mud-supported rock with > 10% grains, and original components are not organically bounded together during deposition (Figure 14).
* Packstone: a grain-supported rock with lime mud presented, and original components are not organically bounded together during deposition (Figure 15).
* Grainstone: a grain-supported rock with lime mud absent, and original components are not organically bounded together during deposition (Figure 16).
* Boundstone: a rock with the presence of organic components bounded together during deposition.
* Crystalline: a rock with unrecognizable depositional texture (Figure 17).

Floatstones and bindstones are usually formed in medium-energy settings (below average wave base).
Floatstones and bindstones are usually formed in medium-energy settings (below average wave base).
Rudstones and framestones are usually formed in high-energy settings (above wave base).
Rudstones and framestones are usually formed in high-energy settings (above wave base).
Organically-bound rocks show good reservoir quality if the skeletal growth is interconnected.
