Figure 12. Paragenetic sequence observed in outcrops A and B. In this example, three elementary sequences (ES) are represented. The average stable isotope signature of each analyzed carbonate phase is indicated. The succession of three types of diagenetic fluids can be distinguished: methane, marine, and meteoric waters. Beginning of late diagenesis is marked by the first marine cement; telogenesis corresponds to the precipitation of gypsum. PDB = Peedee belemnite.
