“…The proposition of radial and micritic microstructure with an original calcite mineralogy was previously put forth by Simone (1981;see following discussion) and Medwedeff and Wilkinson (1983) from the standpoint of cortical microstructure. There appears to be no evidence from chemistry, microstructure, or petrographic data to support the assumption that the original mineralogy of these Cretaceous coated grains was primarily aragonite.…”

“…Arguments have been presented by various authors (Loreau, 1969;Shearman et al, 1970) that ooids with faint radial patterns may result from the diagenetic alteration and recrystallization of originally tangential ooids of aragonitic composition. Simone (1981), however, in her review paper on ooids, discusses evidence that ooids composed of calcite may also have primary radial structure. Her evidence is based upon spherulitic, fanlike structures composed of radial fibrous needles.…”

“…4C and 4D) are often composed by peloids. However, it does not produce agitation and turbulence enough to trigger the formation of ooids (Simone 1980). Thus, we interpret that these facies were generated from the subaqueous flows with less intense or frequent water agitation, wherein the fair weather wave orbitals do not have enough energy to rework the bottom sediments constantly.…”

“…Studies since then have debated on the exact precipitation mechanism and the importance of organic processes and diagenesis (Eardley, 1938;Davies et al, 1978;Simone, 1980;Duguid et al, 2010). Analysis of modern ooids has confirmed that radial crystal orientation is an original growth texture and not a product of diagenesis (Kahle, 1974;Davies and Martin, 1976), though original tangential growth also occurs in certain environmental conditions (Simone, 1980).…”

“…Certain environmental conditions are crucial to the growth of ooids which include supersaturation of calcium carbonate, the presence of detritus as nuclei, agitation of the grains and restrictions on ooid movement to areas outside of this environment (Kahle, 1974;Davies et al, 1978;Simone, 1980). The presence of ooids and shallow marine fossils support deposition in a shallow marine reef environment.…”
