Fig. 4. High-magnification SEM images of partially dissolved calcite crystals showing some of the dissolution features discussed in this study. A) SEM image from Series 5 showing an inter-crystal gulf, which is defined as a narrow groove or channel between adjacent crystals (sensu Lambert et al. 2006). B) SEM image from Series 8 showing rectangular (white arrows) and irregular (black arrows) dissolution pits. C) SEM image from Series 3 showing dissolution layers on a calcite crystal surface. D) SEM image from Series 8 showing stair-stepping ledges on a calcite crystal edge.
