Geothermal Fluid Variation Recorded by Banded Ca-Carbonate Veins in a Fault-Related, Fissure Ridge-Type Travertine Depositional System (Iano, southern Tuscany, Italy) by Paola Francesca Matera, Gennaro Ventruti, Martina Zucchi, Andrea Brogi, Enrico Capezzuoli, Domenico Liotta, Tsai-Luen Yu, Chuan-Chou Shen, Katharine W. Huntington, László Rinyu, Sándor Kele

“…We also documented for the first time the occurrence of Mn-rich black tree-shaped structures within the veins. Mineralogy coupled with stable and clumped isotope measurements allows the reconstruction of some features (i.e., crystal texture, temperature, and CO2 origin) and the inference of the processes (i.e., pH, T, and pCO2 variations) that have controlled the fluid evolution through time. …”
