Evaluating the role of dissolved silica for dolomite formation in evaporitic environments: Insights from prolonged laboratory experiments
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)The mineral Dolomite CaMg(CO3)2 is a common constituent of sedimentary rocks. Despite centuries of research, the mechanism of its formation remains elusive and debated. Recent studies have shown the presence of silica in ... -
Geology and petrology of the Hormuz dolomite, Infra-Cambrian: Implications for the formation of the salt-cored Halul and Shraouh islands, Offshore, State of Qatar
( Elsevier Ltd , 2008 , Article)Geological investigations of the Halul and the Shraouh islands, offshore Qatar, indicate that most of their calcareous rocks, which display abundant stromatolitic bedding, belong to the Infra-Cambrian Hormuz Series. ... -
The importance of microbial mats for dolomite formation in the Dohat Faishakh sabkha, Qatar
( Springer Verlag , 2015 , Article)The Dohat Faishakh sabkha in Qatar is one of the rare modern environments where it is possible to study the formation of dolomite, a mineral whose origin has been long debated. In previous studies, dolomite formation in ... -
Microbial dolomites from carbonate-evaporite sediments of the coastal sabkha of Abu Dhabi and their exploration implications
( wiley online library , 2010 , Article)Detailed petrographic studies of Recent dolomites from the coastal sabkha of Abu Dhabi using SEM and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyses indicate that most of the dolomite started to form in " micro-niches" (i.e. small ... -
Systematic laboratory approach to produce Mg-rich carbonates at low temperature
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2021 , Article)Dolomite is a common Mg-rich carbonate in the geological record, but the mechanism of its formation remains unclear. At low temperature, the incorporation of magnesium ions into the carbonate minerals necessary to form ...
