Effect of aragonite to calcite transformation on the geochemistry and dating accuracy of speleothems. An example from Castañar Cave, Spain

The Impact and Implications of Aragonite-to-calcite Transformation on Speleothem Trace Element Composition

Abstract Trace elements in cave carbonates (both calcite and aragonite) have been considered major proxies in paleo-hydroclimatic research. However, their imprint in authigenic minerals might be…

Palaeoclimate significance of speleothems in crystalline rocks: a test case from the Late Glacial and early Holocene (Vinschgau, northern Italy)

Abstract. Partly coeval flowstones formed in fractured gneiss and schist were studied to test the palaeoclimate significance of this new type of speleothem archive on a decadal-to-millennial…

Petrographic analysis of Krem (cave) Mawmluh stalagmite from Meghalaya, northeast India

In the northeastern states of India, an in-cave expedition to Krem (cave) Mawmluh in Meghalaya has been carried out to document and study the stalagmite sample KM-24. The architectural structure is…

Kinetic effects during the experimental transition of aragonite to calcite in aqueous solution: Insights from clumped and oxygen isotope signatures

Element Patterns of Primary Low-Magnesium Calcite from the Seafloor of the Gulf of Mexico

High-magnesium calcite (HMC) and aragonite are metastable minerals, which tend to convert into low-magnesium calcite (LMC) and dolomite. During this process, primary compositions are frequently…

Diagenesis of a drapery speleothem from Castañar Cave: from dissolution to dolomitization

A drapery speleothem (DRA-1) from Castanar Cave in Spain was subjected to a detailed petrographical study in order to identify its primary and diagenetic features. The drapery’s present day…
