Genesis of self-organized zebra textures in burial dolomites: Displacive veins, induced stress, and dolomitization

The dolomite veins making up rhythmites common in burial dolomites are not cement infillings of supposed cavities, as in the prevailing view, but are instead displacive veins, veins that pushed aside the host dolostone as they grew.
