Role of pressure solution in the formation of bedding-parallel calcite veins in an immature shale (Cretaceous, southern UK)

Bedding-parallel fibrous calcite veins in black shales (Cretaceous, southern UK) were investigated using a combined field, stable isotopic geochemistry, petrographic and crystallographic method, to examine their formation mechanism. Calcite veins occur in all shale beds and are most abundant in the...
