This study investigates a rift-related lacustrine slope system characterized by authigenic high-magnesium phyllosilicates (e.g., kerolite-stevensite) and carbonates associated with volcaniclastic deposits.

Mineralogy and texture of diagenetic phases in the Aptian Pre‐Salt Barra Velha Formation are described, quantified and compared by facies and structural setting to understand their spatial and temporal distribution, and to develop predictive concepts for their genesis.

The role of organic matter in Brazilian Pre‐Salt carbonates
Diverse types of organic matter (OM) were identified in Brazilian Pre‐Salt carbonates. The presence of OM along and inside calcite structures indicates a strong microbial influence in Brazilian Pre‐Salt carbonate precipitation. The occurrence of these organic compounds in distinguishing facies raises the discussion of biotic versus abiotic genesis of ...

ABSTRACT Quaternary to Recent sedimentary dolomite in groundwater calcrete and saltmarsh sediments of Lake Way and Lake Maitland, Western Australia, provide new information about the formation of low‐temperature dolomite. Dolomite can form through numerous pathways depending on the depositional and diagenetic environment.

Co‐precipitation of primary dolomite and Mg‐rich clays in Deep Springs Lake, California
ABSTRACT In contrast to the prevalence of dolomite [CaMg(CO3)2] in the geological record, there are few instances of recent formation. This discrepancy occurs despite supersaturation with respect to dolomite in many modern marine and lacustrine environments.

Abstract Authigenic magnesium‐clays have been observed and documented in the Green River Formation, specifically as ooidal stevensite grains. Magnesian clays are a valuable proxy for reconstructing shallow‐water, saline–alkaline lake palaeoenvironments due to their responses to chemical changes.

Microbial and abiotic approaches to carbonating stevensite: what works and what doesn’t
Although Mg-rich clays are common in sediments, rocks and mineral wastes produced by mining, little is known about how they might contribute to carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration. The purpose of this study is to use previously tested mineral carbonation techniques at ambient temperature and pressure on the low-temperature Mg-rich clay mineral ...
