Carbonate minerals have precipitated from seawater for at least the last 3.8 billion years, but
changes in the physical and chemical properties of carbonate rocks demonstrate that the …

The evolution of the global carbon and silicon cycles is thought to have contributed to the
long-term stability of Earth's climate,–. Many questions remain, however, regarding the …

Dolomite can form as a major mineral component of marlstones and limestones and is an
important sink for magnesium in the marine environment. Dolomite is widely distributed in …
