Laboratory Precipitation and Geochemical Investigation of Unstable CaCO<sub>3</sub> Polymorphs: Implications for the Origin of Precambrian “Molar-tooth” Microspar
Molar-tooth (MT) microspar is a volumetrically significant, globally distributed carbonate fabric that occurs almost exclusively in Mesoproterozoic and early Neoproterozoic shallow marine successions. It occurs as uniform, equant crystals, averaging 9 –15 μm in diameter (Figure 1), that characterist...
