Possible Roles of Clay Minerals in the Formation of Dolomite

Charles F. Kahle

ABSTRACT

Evidence is accumulating which strongly suggests that clay minerals effect the formation of some dolomites. Clays may behave somewhat as catalysts by providing a source of magnesium ions or by serving as membranes which effect ionic migration. Alternately, clays may assume a more active role in dolomitization by serving as centers of nucleation, or by entering into chemical reactions which involve dolomite as one of the products.
