Regional-scale development of opening-mode calcite veins due to silica diagenesis
The formation and distribution of natural fractures in Cretaceous–Paleogene strata in Jordan are strongly tied to diagenetic processes, which in turn reflect the lithology of the host material. Observations collected from subsurface cores show that widespread fracturing began before compaction of th...
