Concern for the perpetuation of stone monuments is deeply ingrained in humans; however, despite attempts made this field, there still a great deal effort needed to bring about advancements conservation ornamental stone. Erosive agents, such as rain, extreme temperatures, and chemical biological threaten our heritage gradually wear away buildings, sculptures, other found all around world. Limest...

In structurally-controlled dolomitization systems, there is a general consensus that the formation of dolostone-limestone transitions, termed here as “dolomitization fronts”, governed by either presence an ultra-low permeability zone (fluid barrier) or changes in potential and kinetics. However, actual processes controlling abrupt termination dolostone bodies, their corresponding morphology dim...

DOC and nitrate in farmland represent key chemical species that determine the water quality Karst Critical Zone (KCZ). The work reported here focuses on quantifying fluxes of these an experimental farm site (University Leeds Farm, UK) overlying a dolomitic karst aquifer Permian age. In this research, Transect Method was applied for first time to by combining hydrochemical data from soil groundw...

Cryogenian snowball Earth glaciations may have had disastrous impacts on the biosphere, particularly terrestrial ecosystem. However, how ecosystem responded to and recovered from these remains poorly understood. Speleothems offer important insights into life because their formation is critically dependent soil CO2 derived microbial respiration. Here we report wide distribution of miniature pale...

In this study, the process of anthropic decay on stone materials and on the lithobiontic microbial colonization associated was investigated by means of both laboratory simulation (granite) and field experiments (dolostone ́s historical quarry), all of them stone materials traditionally used in heritage construction. A wide variety of salts including sulphates, phosphates and chlorides resulted f...

The 5th sub-member in 5 Member Ordovician Majiagou Formation Daniudi Gas Field, Ordos Basin, is deposited an environment consisting of ancient epicontinental sea, where very fine crystalline dolostone reservoir has developed. In this study, based on the petrological and geochemical characteristics, genesis dolomite developed M55 were studied by analyzing properties sources dolomitization fluids...

Fault-related dolomitisation is responsible for the development of numerous hydrocarbon reservoirs hosted in diagenetically-altered carbonates and therefore critical to exploration, subsurface storage (i.e. CO2), formation associated mineralisation MVT-deposits) understanding key controls on fluid flow. Multiple dolomitised outcrop analogues have been characterised recent years, but uncertainty...

The current sedimentological and petrographical research of the Abbottabad Formation has been carried out in order to understand formation evolution Proto-Tethys Ocean during Cambrian on northern margin Indian Plate. Muzaffarabad region is located east Upper Indus Basin southern part Hazara Kashmir Syntaxis. geological history varies from Precambrian recent period. well exposed along Syntaxis a...
