Abstract The eyeball-shaped limestone,which is composed of “eyeball”and “eyelid”,is a common type of carbonates with special structures in middle Permian in South China. It develops widely in the lower part of Qixia Formation and the middle-lower part of Maokou Formation. There are many research on the characteristics and origin of eyeball-shaped limestone,which is reviewed in detail in this paper. The distribution,petrological and geochemical characteristics of the eyeball-shaped limestones has been summarized. Besides,different viewpoints on the origin of this kind of eyeball-shaped limestones have been discussed. The controversies on the characteristics of eyeball-shaped limestones have been expounded,and the important research aspects in the future on the eyeball-shaped limestones have been pointed out,especially in the microscopic and geochemical characteristics. Finally it implies that the perspective of eyeball-shaped limestone on the petroleum geological significances should be paid enough attention
