Dolomitization
Abstract
Written in 1982, no single model of dolomitization accounted for all aspects of any massively dolomitized ancient limestone. All models had significant flaws, and this publication summarized strengths and weaknesses of several of the models of the dolomitization process and its relation to other diagenetic processes (silicification, stylolitization, organic maturation, etc.). Several important aspects of dolomite mineralogy and chemistry are reviewed along with the contraints those place on all models.

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.
