Sedimentary Carbonate Minerals

Sedimentary Carbonate Minerals by F. Lippmann.

and their identification obviates individual thermochemical studies on every genus. The stability relations among sedimentary carbonate minerals are now more or less well known. The common rock-forming minerals cal­ cite and dolomite are indeed stable phases in the pertinent systems. Most other carb...
