Stylolites: A review
Stylolites are ubiquitous geo-patterns observed in rocks in the upper crust, from geological
reservoirs in sedimentary rocks to deformation zones, in folds, faults, and shear zones …

Are stylolites fluid-flow efficient features?
It sounds counter-intuitive to consider contraction features such as stylolites as potential
conduits for flow. However, this idea has grown since 1980, with geoscientists finding many …

We modeled the geometrical roughening of bedding-parallel, mainly layer-dominated
stylolites in order to understand their structural evolution, to present an advanced …

Stylolite interfaces and surrounding matrix material: Nature and role of heterogeneities in roughness and microstructural development
Rough pressure solution interfaces, like stylolites, are one of the most evident features of
localized slow deformation in rocks of the upper crust. There is a general consensus that the …

Scaling analysis, correlation length and compaction estimates of natural and simulated stylolites
Stylolites are rough dissolution surfaces that show three different scaling regimes in space
and time. On the small scale surface energy dominates and stylolites roughen very slowly …
