Crystals grow in supersaturated solutions. A mysterious counterexample is dolomite CaMg
(CO3) 2, a geologically abundant sedimentary mineral that does not readily grow at ambient …

Lithium has been a critical metal for energy transition, mainly because of its application as
an energy storage matrix, which has seen its demand increasing exponentially in the last …

In structurally-controlled dolomitization systems, there is a general consensus that the
formation of dolostone-limestone transitions, termed here as “dolomitization fronts”, is …

The occurrence of fault-controlled hydrothermal dolomitization (HTD) is ubiquitous across
stratigraphic records and has been extensively studied due to its association with economic …

Cavern and vug porosities in the Ordovician carbonates in the Halahatang oil field are
currently hot targets for hydrocarbon exploration in the Tarim Basin of northwestern China …

Rare earth elements (REEs), carbon, oxygen and Mg isotopes have been widely used to
explain the origin of dolomite, but dolomite may undergo complex diagenetic alteration …

Abstract The Oligocene–Miocene (OM) depositional sequences (Asmari Formation) are
marked by remarkable changes in thickness, lithology, depositional facies characteristics …

The occurrence of Precambrian stromatolites is closely related to the ancient seawater
composition and the evolution of life. It is also a potential oil and gas reservoir. In what kind …

Several giant oilfileds have been discovered during recent exploration in the Ordovician
carbonates in zone between the Awati and Manjiaer depressions, Tarim Basin, China …

This study evaluates examples of hydrothermal dolomitization in the Middle Cambrian
Cathedral Formation of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Kilometer-scale dolomite …
