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 …

Over the past century a number of models have been developed to explain the vast
stratigraphic distribution of authigenic dolomite. These models include hydrogeological …

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 …

Geochemical reaction modeling plays an increasingly vital role in several areas of
geoscience, from environmental geochemistry and petroleum geology to the study of …

Dolomites found on and below carbonate islands, atolls and oceanic platforms provide
useful insights into the origin of dolomite; insights that may not be attainable from the study …

Paleozoic and Precambrian sedimentary successions frequently contain massive
dolomicrite [CaMg (CO3) 2] units despite kinetic inhibitions to nucleation and precipitation of …

Palagonite is the first stable product of volcanic glass alteration. It is a heterogeneous
material, usually with highly variable optical and structural properties, ranging from a clear …

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 direct crystallization of dolomite from an aqueous solution at temperatures between 60-
220° C was followed in situ through time-resolved synchrotron-based energy-dispersive X …

Data collected from a series of high-temperature dolomitization experiments in which
dolomite replaces calcite in Mg–Ca–Cl solutions indicate that dolomite composition (mol …
