The talc deposits of Puebla de Lillo (Cantabrian zone, Variscan belt of Iberia) are hosted by hydrothermal dolostones replacing Carboniferous limestones and are generally located adjacent to Ordovician quartzites. The talc orebodies occur as metasomatic replacement zones of the dolostones near faults or lithologic contacts and, to a lesser extent, as replacements of the nearby quartzites or sla...

Abstract The exposed Middle Eocene (Bartonian) Qurn Formation along Qattamiya—Ain Sokhna district is measured, sampled and microscopically investigated. Besides, the vertical distribution of chemical oxides strontium (Sr) has been determined to identify their petrographic, geochemical characteristics interpret depositional environments. facies analysis (lithofacies, microfacies, biofacies) stud...

While the characteristics and origin of drusy calcite cement in carbonate deposits is well constrained literature, little attention paid to dolomite cement. Petrographic observations, stable isotopes, fluid-inclusion microthermometry suggest that Permo-Triassic conglomerate/breccia dolostone beds northern United Arab Emirates has precipitated as not by dolomitization The low ?18OVPDB (?9.4‰ ?6....

Carbonate rocks are composed of carbonate minerals that chemically formed in the form solutions, and there organisms involved their formation. The limestone found around Lake Limboto is very interesting, because water lake freshwater while characteristic a marine environment. Diagenesis natural process sedimentary occurs from initial deposition until it reaches limit metamorphism will be formed...
