Stylolite networks and their insoluble residues (IR) are among the major concerns and the fundamental controls on the mining and processing of sedimentary decorative stones, largely made from dolomitized limestones. They are mainly used, as natural rock blocks and polished slabs, to construct and decorate floors and walls of buildings and monuments. Representative quarries in Khur areas, east o...

Manuscript Click here to view linked References Abstract 22 23 Stylolites are among the most prominent deformation patterns in sedimentary rocks that 24 document localized pressure solution. Recent studies revealed that stylolite roughness is 25 characterized by two distinct scaling regimes. The main goal of the present study is to 26 decipher whether this complex scaling behavior of stylolites...
