Aspects of carbonate sedimentation∗
Abstract
A dolomitic sediment of grain size too small to permit optical determination of the minerals is forming today in many shallow water lagoons and at the closed shallow end of the Coorong in the South‐East of South Australia. Relative amounts of calcian dolomite, magnesian calcite and shell calcite have been indicated by X‐ray powder diffraction patterns, and strontium is found to be present (in celestite). It is considered that these are formed inorganically, though seasonal effects and organisms may have played big parts in providing the right physico‐chemical conditions for precipitation. There is no simple relationship between salinity and carbonate precipitation, but the carbonates have been observed forming in salinities ranging from less than 1–6 per cent, to more than 14 per cent., with pH varying from 8–5 to 9–0, and with reducing conditions being suggested by associated sulphur‐bearing muds. It is suggested, therefore, that the physical conditions of shallow waters favour the precipitation of dolomite.

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.
