Abstract The Triassic Latemar platform in the Dolomites, Italy, is the site of several ongoing controversies. Perhaps the most interesting debate focuses on apparent cyclic deposition …
Abstract The North African calcretes formed during the Plio-Pleistocene are a prominent and stratigraphically significant palaeoclimatic marker. We studied the calcrete along a north …
Hydrothermal diagenesis during the Zagros Orogeny produced three phases of saddle dolomites (SD1, SD2, and SD3) and two phases of blocky calcites (CI and CII) in the studied …
Pedogenic carbonates are a good proxy of soil formation and functioning because the morphology of minerals is directly related with the processes of dissolution–precipitation …
Calcretes are widespread, and form as nodular, columnar/tubular, fracture-infill, laminated hardpan and conglomeratic crust in the Adana region. X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD) …
Sedimentologic and stable isotopic studies in the Çal basin-fill provide new insights on the late Neogene–Quaternary climatic pattern in the eastern Mediterranean. Long-term …
Fluvial red mudstones of Tortonian age (overbank deposits) are widespread in the Mersin area in southern Turkey. The XRD analysis reveals that the mudstones consist …

The origins of dolocrete and associated palygorskite in the Çanakkale region of Turkey have been little studied, but are of fundamental importance for a more complete understanding of …
This paper addresses the mineralogy, geochemistry, and genesis of palygorskite and associated calcretes in the Kırşehir region. In this area, the Quaternary calcretes are present …
