The carbonate factories model, as defined at the beginning of the century, provides a
subdivision of marine carbonate sediment production‐systems based on the style of …

Palaeo-water depth and its change with time is a key factor in environmental analysis and in
sedimentology in general. The literature published on this topic and on related subjects …

It has been more than a decade since the appearance of the First Edition of this book. Much
progress has been made, but some controversies remain. The original ideas of Sloss and of …

The carbon-isotopic composition (δ13C) of bulk carbonates, obtained from a transect of sites
drilled through platform and periplatform sediments of Holocene to Early Miocene age, has …

Carbonate diagenetic models have been heavily influenced by numerous studies of
exposed Quaternary limestones. As a result, meteoric diagenesis is often assumed to be the …

Carbonate platforms changed substantially in spatial extent, geometry, composition and
palaeogeographical distribution through the Phanerozoic. Although reef construction and …

Using a leaching protocol designed for the study of U isotopes in recent carbonates, we
measured the U isotope composition, both 238 U/235 U and 234 U/238 U, of modern and …

Seaward progradation of several kilometers has been documented mostly for leeward
margin low-angle carbonate slope systems with a dominant platform top sediment source …

Calciclastic submarine fans are rare in the stratigraphic record and no bona fide present-day
analogue has been described to date. Possibly because of that, and although calciclastic …

Carbonate environments inhabit the realm of the surface, intermediate and deep currents of
the ocean circulation where they produce and continuously deliver material which is …
