Rapid Growth and Recrystallization of Cave Pearls - Implications for Carbonate Diagenesis

Seds Online via YouTube

Overview

Explore the fascinating world of cave pearls in this 49-minute video lecture that delves into their rapid growth and recrystallization processes. Learn about the formation of these coated grains in shallow pools on level cave and mine floors, and discover the surprising complexity of their layered structure. Examine the study of Low-Mg calcite (LMC) cave pearls growing between 2010-2014 in an underground limestone mine, revealing unexpected recrystallization from LMC to LMC within months to years, despite stable pool conditions. Understand the significant implications of this research for early diagenesis of lime mud to micrite and gain valuable insights into carbonate diagenesis.
