Characterization and genesis mechanism of dolomite from Xike 1 well, Xisha Islands—constraints from Mg isotopes by Ma Yazeng, Fu Heping, Xu Hong, Xu Hong, Han Zuozhen, Luo Jinxiong, Han Chao

“…The results show that (1) most of the dolomite is distributed along the weathering exposure surface with a residual structure. Dolomite without residual structures has a fog-centered bright edge with straight authomorphism or semi-authomorphism, curved surface dominated, and the degree of authomorphism controlled by the growth space; (2) the overall ordering of dolomite in the whole well is low, with an average value of 0.53, and there is little difference in ordering at different depths, the Mn and Fe contents of middle- and shallow-depth dolomites are generally low, and cathodoluminescence is not obvious; for the deep layers, the Mn and Fe contents increased by hydrothermal action, and bright yellow and orange cathodoluminescent bands were formed; (3) changes in the Mg isotopic composition of dolomite along the stratigraphic sequence of the profile are generally consistent with changes in the depositional cycle. …”
