Traditionally, fresh water carbonate research has focused on the sedimentology and
palaeontology of ancient lacustrine deposits. Lithofacies in such low‐energy deposits are …

Carbonate build-ups in lakes, hydrothermal and fluvial settings are characterized by
distinctive geometry, spatial distribution, fabrics and geochemical signature but also by …

Travertine-depositing hot springs can generate various carbonate minerals with or without
the participation of microorganisms. They thus serve as good natural laboratories to study …

The relatively simplistic facies models for lacustrine carbonates do not currently incorporate
either the diversity of microbialite carbonate development or the influence of volcanic-related …

The terrestrial limestones forming at the emergence of thermal springs show a variety of
unusual depositional facies. The specific lithological and petrological features of these …

The study of hydrothermal travertines contributes to the understanding of the interaction
between physico‐chemical processes and microbial mats in carbonate precipitation. Three …

Fluid/rock interaction represents a major process in the formation of calcitic or aragonitic
travertine and tufa (CATT). In most cases, CATT is associated to limestone dissolution …

Abstract Travertines from Tivoli area (Central Italy) possess abundant shrub-like fabrics that
are laterally continuous over hundreds of square meters. They occur dominantly in …

The Gölemezli Geothermal Field (GGF) is one of the best known geothermal fields in
western Anatolia (Turkey). The exploited fluids are of meteoric origin, mixed with deep …

Travertines are continental carbonate rocks formed from hot spring waters rich in calcium
and bicarbonate. The stable carbon and oxygen isotope signature for these rocks is well …
