Abstract:Ooids are particles composed of a tangential or radial cortex growing around a nucleus. They are common in carbonate deposits of almost any geological age and provide insights into environmental conditions. However, abiotic or biotic factors influencing their formation remain unclear. This study aims to advance our understanding of ooid formation with a multi–analytical approach (e.g., FE–SEM, Raman spectroscopy, μ–XRF) to classic examples from Great Salt Lake (GSL; USA) and the Lower Triassic Germanic Basin (… Show more
