Abstract [Significance] Carbonate factories provide the foundation for forming carbonate
depositional systems. They are closely related to marine evolution, elemental cycling, and …

Abstract [Significance] The study of the conceptual framework of the" Carbonate Factory" has
been hailed by Reijmer as one of the main advances in carbonate sedimentology achieved …

Diagenetic reactions in marine sediments, such as the recrystallization of carbonates, can
impact the accuracy of paleo-environmental and paleo-climatic reconstructions by …

Shallow-water carbonate sediments constitute one of the most abundant and widely used
archives of Earth's surface evolution. One of the main limitations of this archive is the …

Authigenic carbonate chemistry and mineralogy provide key insights into diagenetic
pathways and microbial processes in sedimentary records. We characterize the mineralogy …

Abstract [Significance] The proposal of a carbonate factory and its classification study are of
great significance for promoting the development of carbonate sedimentology. However, the …

Stable carbon and oxygen isotopes (δ18O and δ13C values) and trace elements have been
applied to the study of diagenesis of carbonate rocks for over 50 years. As valuable as these …

A complex interplay of environmental factors may affect regionally important Cenozoic
carbonate deposits, and a combination of different controls may result in comparable …

The terrigenous sedimentary budget of passive margins, records variations in past
sedimentary fluxes, and thus can be used to infer past variations of Earth surface …

A significant proportion of marine calcium carbonate sediments are comprised of metastable
minerals that are susceptible to diagenetic alterations during burial. These reactions can …
