Holocene dolomites have been repeatedly observed in evaporitic environments worldwide.
“In spite of their paucity, the Holocene dolomites have been repeatedly observed in evaporitic environments worldwide (Wells, 1962; Middelburg et al., 1990; Vasconcelos and McKenzie, 1997; Wright, 1999; van Lith et al., 2002; Wright and Wacey, 2005; Bontognali et al., 2010, 2012; Deng et al., 2010; Meister et al., 2011; Brauchli et al., 2016).”

Modern dolomite exists but is common only in certain environments: marginal, restricted, hypersaline regimes; nonmarine lakes; and zones of microbial sulfate reduction.
“Modern dolomite does indeed exist but is common only in certain environments: (1) marginal, restricted, hypersaline regimes such as the Coorong lakes of South Australia (Alderman, 1959), supratidal lagoons on the island of Bonaire, Netherland Antilles (Deffeyes, Lucia, and Weyl, 1965), and the sabkhas of the Persian Gulf (Wells, 1962)”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
