Biomineralization of primary carbonate cements: a new biosignature in the fossil record from the Anisian of Southern Italy

open access: yesLethaia, EarlyView., 2021
Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Early Neoproterozoic limestones from the Gwna Group, Anglesey [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Limestone megaclasts up to hundreds of metres in size are present within the Gwna Group mélange, North Wales, UK. The mélange has been interpreted as part of a Peri-Gondwanan fore-arc accretionary complex although the age of deposition remains ...

Early Diagenesis of Lower Pliensbachian Sediments from the Algarve Basin (Portugal): Characterisation and Relation with Tectonic Evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The Lower Jurassic (Lower Pliensbachian) sedimentary record of the western end of the Algarve Basin (Portugal) is made of decimetric thick layers of limestone and dolomitized limestone with chert nodules and inter-layered chert beds.

Partial dolomitization of foreslope and toe-of-slope facies of a Carnian carbonate platform, Transdanubian Range, Hungary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Partial and pervasive dolomitization of foreslope and toe-of-slope deposits of an early Carnian carbonate platform was investigated to understand the process and mechanism of dolomitization.

Dolomitized tidal cycles in the Agua de la Mula Member of the Agrio Formation (Lower Cretaceous), Neuquén Basin, Argentina

open access: yesLatin American Journal of Sedimentology and Basin Analysis, 2021
The Agrio Formation (Valanginian to early Barremian) is a siliciclastic and carbonate unit of the Neuquén Basin in west central Argentina. A conspicuous 20 m thick dolomitized section near the top of the upper Agua de la Mula Member of the Agrio ...

Dolomite geochemistry of the Cambrian Longwangmiao Formation, eastern Sichuan Basin: Implication for dolomitization and reservoir prediction

open access: yesPetroleum Research, 2017
Based on petrology and mineralogy, the geochemical characteristics of dolomite in the Cambrian Longwangmiao Formation in the eastern Sichuan Basin, were carried out.

Controls on Cyclic Formation of Quaternary Early Diagenetic Dolomite [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The origin of sedimentary dolomite and the factors that control its formation within the geological record remain speculative. In most models, dolomite formation is linked to evaporative conditions, high water temperature, increasing Mg/Ca ratio ...

Zebra pattern in rocks as a function of grain growth affected by second-phase particles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Alternating fine grained dark and coarse grained light layers in rocks are often termed zebra patterns and are found worldwide. The crystals in the different bands have an almost identical chemical composition, however second-phase particles (e.g., fluid

Research progress of carbonate rock diagenesis

open access: yes地质科技通报, 2023
Diagenesis is one of the important genesis of carbonate reservoirs, and it is also an important geological factor for the evaluation and prediction of carbonate reservoirs.

Similarities and differences in the dolomitization history of two coeval Middle Triassic carbonate platforms, Balaton Highland, Hungary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Dolomitization of platform carbonates is commonly the result of multiphase processes. Documentation of the complex dolomitization history is difficult if completely dolomitized sections are studied.
