Abstract The Carnian Pluvial Episode was a phase of global climatic change and biotic
turnover that occurred during the early Late Triassic. In marine sedimentary basins, the …

Investigation by high resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM) and
Synchrotron-Radiation based micro X-ray fluorescence (SR-μXRF) of diagenesis in …

Carbonate archives record a brief snapshot of the ambient Earth's surface conditions at their
deposition. However, the geologically reasonable extraction and interpretation of …

Abstract Thick Upper Cambrian-Lower Ordovician carbonates were deposited on a shallow
marine platform in the northern Tarim Basin, which were extensively dolomitized, particularly …

Although most modern dolomites occur in hypersaline environments, the effects of elevated
salinity on the microbial mediation of dolomite precipitation have not been fully evaluated …

Dolomite [CaMg (CO3) 2] formation under Earth surface conditions is considered largely
inhibited, yet protodolomite (with a composition similar to dolomite but lacking cation …

Dolomite is a very common carbonate mineral in ancient sediments, but is rarely found in
modern environments. Because of the difficulties in precipitating dolomite in the laboratory at …

Abstract The Lower Triassic Kangan Formation of the Persian Gulf Superbasin forms one of
the largest reservoirs in the South Pars/North Field, the world's largest gas field. The upper …

The mechanism of dolomitization has long been debated due to complex sedimentary and
diagenetic conditions. Large-scale dolomite bodies were recently discovered in the Permian …

Abstract The Middle Triassic shallow marine carbonates of the SE Pannonian Basin
(Szeged Dolomite Formation) show evidence for multistage dolomitization and a complex …
