Element Patterns of Primary Low-Magnesium Calcite from the Seafloor of the Gulf of Mexico

High-magnesium calcite (HMC) and aragonite are metastable minerals, which tend to convert into low-magnesium calcite (LMC) and dolomite. During this process, primary compositions are frequently altered, resulting in the loss of information regarding the formation environment and the nature of fluids...
