The concept of force of crystallization is combined with that of depression of dissolution to explain diagenetic volume-for-volume replacement in both cases, either when the pressure is increased in early sedimentary settings, or when it is diminished in a late exposure. Also, a new textural criterion is added to the three classical ones in order to recognize diagenetic volume-for-volume replacement, and calculations are carried out to estimate the speed of the replacement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
