Here we show that synsedimentary marine dolomite precipitation was pervasive within Cryogenian reef complexes from the Adelaide Fold Belt, South Australia. Although these reefs are composed of dolomite, textural evidence indicates an originally aragonitic mineralogy for depositional components, in common with many other Neoproterozoic carbonates. Allochthonous slope debris from the reefs invariably contains both limestone and dolomite clasts, indicating synsedimentary dolomitization in the reefs. We describe several new forms of fibrous marine dolomite cement from the reefs that have a length-slow optical character. These fascicular slow, radial slow, and rhombic dolomite cements have finely preserved cathodoluminescent growth zones, and optical characteristics that indicate they originally precipitated as dolomite, rather than replacing calcite or aragonite cements. Abundant early marine dolomite precipitation implies a radically different seawater chemistry for the Cryogenian. Perhaps these aragonite-dolomite seas are associated with extreme Neoproterozoic glacial events and/or ocean anoxia.

A similar direct formation mechanism producing radial growth morphology has been suggested for dolomite cements in Cryogenian reef carbonates.
“A similar 'direct' formation mechanism, which also produces a radial growth morphology, has been suggested for dolomite cements in Cryogenian ( ~ 850 to ~ 650 Mya) reef carbonates (Hood et al. 2011; Hood and Wallace 2012).”

The radial growth morphology of direct dolomite cements in Neoproterozoic cap carbonates may also be a product of spherulitic growth, indicating they may have formed from an amorphous precursor.
“Furthermore, the radial growth morphology of the 'direct' dolomite cements in the Neoproterozoic cap carbonates may also be a product of spherulitic growth indicating that they also may have formed from an amorphous precursor (Hood et al. 2011; Hood and Wallace 2012).”

Environmental conditions that promoted direct precipitation of dolomite in Neoproterozoic seas were characterized by high alkalinities, elevated Mg:Ca ratios (>7), and high supersaturations.
“Hood et al. (2011) and Hood and Wallace (2012) suggest that the environmental conditions that dominated and promoted the 'direct precipitation' of dolomite from solution in the Neoproterozoic seas were characterized by high alkalinities, elevated Mg:Ca ratios (>7) and high supersaturations.”

If the assertion of a 'direct' dolomite cement formation scenario is correct, the spherulitic growth mechanism could have been the controlling pathway to produce the Cryogenian cap dolomites described by Hood et al. (2011), regardless of whether their formation occurred via microbially mediated processes.
“This leads us to infer that if the assertion of a 'direct' dolomite cement formation scenario is correct, the spherulitic growth mechanism could have been the controlling pathway to produce the Cryogenian cap dolomites described by Hood et al. (2011), regardless of whether their formation occurred via a microbially mediated processes as suggested by Font et al. (2010).”

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.
