Calcretes (synonym: caliches) represent calcium-carbonate accumulations in a variety of
soils (and palaeosols) by pedogenic processes, as well as in surficial sediments in which …

Palustrine carbonates are a distinctive facies association that is particularly common in
Mesozoic and Tertiary non-marine successions. This recurrent set of lithofacies has been …

Superposed events of rock exposure, fracturing, and the hydrological dynamics, are key
elements that influence epigenic karstification in carbonate reservoirs. However, they are not …

Non-marine carbonate rocks including cave, spring, stream, calcrete and lacustrine-
palustrine sediments, are susceptible to early diagenetic processes. These can profoundly …

The silicification of carbonate rocks is a diagenetic process that involves the major
replacement of carbonate minerals by silica minerals (opaline phases, quartz and …

Abstract The northern Madrid Basin contains paleosols and lacustrine sequences composed
of ordered dolomite. Smectite-rich mudstones with analcime deposited in distal alluvial fans …

To investigate the potential usage of sepiolite and palygorskite for subsurface hydrogen
storage, the authors performed hydrogen adsorption measurements at different …

The Upper Miocene (Vallesian–Turolian) Unit II of the Teruel Graben comprises at its top a
25m-thick sequence of palustrine deposits. Deposition of the entire unit commenced some 9 …

The Cretaceous (Mercedes Formation) and Paleogene (Queguay Formation) deposits
cropping out in W and S Uruguay comprise two terrestrial limestone units that are very rich in …

This study discusses the role of smectitic clays in the formation of an abiotic (physio-
chemical) primary dolomite within an evaporative alkaline-saline marginal lake system, in …
