The recognition of past habitable environments on Mars has increased the urgency to
understand biosignature preservation in and characterize analogues of these environments …

The mechanical discontinuities in the upper crust (ie, faults and related fractures) lead to the
uprising of geothermal fluids to the Earth's surface. If fluids are enriched in Ca2+ and HCO3 …

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

Since the first discoveries of oil accumulations in the carbonate reservoirs of the Lower
Cretaceous Barra Velha Formation of the Santos Basin, their genesis has been the subject …

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

Non-marine carbonate rocks including cave, spring, stream, calcrete and lacustrine-
palustrine sediments, are susceptible to early diagenetic processes. These can profoundly …

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 …

Coexistence of thermal springs, travertine deposits and tectonic activity is a recurring feature
for most geothermal areas. Although such a certainty, their relationships are debated mainly …

Studying travertine deposits and the network of banded calcite veins that form their roots in
the substratum can place important constraints on neotectonic activity and the …

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 …
