Magnesium (Mg) has an atomic number of 12 and belongs to the alkaline earth element
(Group II) of the Periodic Table. The pure Mg is a silvery white metal and has a melting point …

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

Shallow-water carbonate sediments constitute the bulk of sedimentary carbonates in the
geologic record and are widely used archives of Earth's chemical and climatic history. One …

The nine editions of Stable Isotope Geochemistry have appeared over a time span of nearly
50 years. The first edition (1973) appeared as a slim book of 135 pages. Due to the rapid …

Dolomite genesis is a century-old mystery in sedimentology. To reveal the mechanism of
dolomite genesis, two core problems need to be addressed. The first is the origin and …

Abstract Hydrothermal experiments at 220, 160, and 130° C were performed to calibrate the
Mg isotope fractionation factor between dolomite and aqueous Mg. Hydrothermal …

Over the past decades, the burial realm, the most prolonged and arguably the least well‐
understood diagenetic environment, has received significant research attention. Despite …

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 …

Both academia and industry require consistent and repeatable carbonate lithofacies
classifications as a primary input to the construction of depositional, diagenetic and reservoir …

Early marine diagenetic dolomite is a rather thermodynamically‐stable carbonate phase and
has potential to act as an archive of marine porewater properties. However, the variety of …
