Salt dissolution tectonism and origin of lacustrine carbonate beds: Mn‐Fe‐calcite and Mn‐siderite micro‐spherulite fabrics of the Lower Cretaceous McMurray Formation, Athabasca Oil Sands deposit, western Canada
Abstract Several lacustrine carbonate beds, each a metre‐thick interval of densely packed Mn‐rich sideritic micro‐spherulites or Mn‐rich ferroan calcite micro‐spherulites, are recorded for the first time within strata of the Lower Cretaceous McMurray Formation of the northern Athabasca Oil Sands dep...
