Dedolomitization converts a dolomite into a calcite, and conventionally is interpreted to form
in an eogenetic or telogenetic diagenetic environment where meteoric water dissolves …

The Messinian microbialites of the Terminal Carbonate Complex (TCC) from the Neogene
basins of southeastern Spain show both diversified morphologies and an excellent …

Rock samples from two cores within the Triassic interval of the Puglia 1 well, were studied to
reveal the sedimentary facies and diagenesis. The Core 1 (5.048–5.056 m deep) is …

Abstract Dolomite (CaMg (CO3) 2) precipitation is kinetically inhibited at surface
temperatures and pressures. Experimental studies have demonstrated that microbial …

Abstract The upper Permian Shiqianfeng sandstones, located in the Dongpu Depression,
Bohai Bay Basin, China, are fluvio-lacustrine deposits and have high content of pore-filling …

Abstract Zechstein 2 (Z2) carbonate microbialites flourished under arid paleoclimatic
conditions in the Late Permian. Microbial carbonates from the Roker Formation outcrop in …

For many years, sedimentary dolomite rocks have been considered to be primarily a
replacement product of the calcium carbonate components comprising the original …

The NASA Mars 2020 Perseverance rover is currently exploring Jezero crater, a Noachian–
Hesperian locality that once hosted a delta–lake system with high habitability and …

Ephemeral evaporitic conditions developed within the uppermost part of the transgressive
Late Sag sequence in the Namibe Basin (SW Angola), leading to the formation of extensive …

Using three different microscopy techniques (epifluorescence, electronic and atomic force
microscopy), we showed that high-Mg calcite grains in calcifying microbial mats from the …
