Abstract Dolomite [CaMg (CO3) 2] forms in numerous geological settings, usually as a
diagenetic replacement of limestone, and is an important component of petroleum reservoir …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Despite intensive research over more than 200 years, the origin of dolomite, the mineral and
the rock, remains subject to considerable controversy. This is partly because some of the …

Natural dolomites exhibit a wide range of compositional and structural characteristics with
respect to the amount and positions of calcium and magnesium cations within the crystal …

The 18O/16O of calcite fossils increased by∼ 8‰ between the Cambrian and present. It has
long been controversial whether this change reflects evolution in the δ18O of seawater, or a …

Abstract Otavi Group is a 1.5–3.5-km-thick epicontinental marine carbonate succession of
Neoproterozoic age, exposed in an 800-km-long Ediacaran− Cambrian fold belt that rims …

Significant volumes of world hydrocarbon reserves occur in dolostones, and the majority of
these reservoirs are interpreted to be of reflux origin. We used a two-dimensional numerical …

The world‐class magmatic sulfide deposits in the Norilsk region exhibit a remarkable spatial
and temporal association with the Siberian large igneous province (LIP). However, the …

Large-scale, massive burial dolomitization affected Upper Carboniferous carbonates of the
southwestern Variscan Cantabrian Zone (Spain). Replacive and void-filling dolomites …

Carbonate sediments of nonglacial Cryogenian (659 to 649 Ma) and early Ediacaran (635 to
590 Ma) age exhibit large positive and negative δ13Ccarb excursions in a shallow-water …
