27 0 2/25/2009 Summary Background Dolomites: Are microsucrosic and contain Sr concentrations in excess of 2000 ppm and are formed from pore waters saturated with respect to calcium carbonate. No unusla O or C isotopic composition. Hardground Dolomites: Dolomites are formed below hardgrounds or firmgrounds. Dolomitization is mediated by the decomposition of organic material and concentrations are highest nearest to the surface and decrease with depth. Summary Gradients in Sr indicate formation from fluids close to the composition of seawater to a composition similar to that which formed the background dolomites. Gradients in the O isotopic composition indicate formation in the presence of a geothermal gradient. Massive dolomites: Theses dolomites can be sucrosic or fabric replacing and are distinguished from the other dolomites by being composed of % dolomite and having a uniformly low Sr concentration. Origin of Dolomites Dolomites formed below hardgrounds with the thermodynamic drive being supplied by the decay of organic material and Mg by diffusion from the overlying seawater. Background dolomites formed in the the porewater with Mg being supplied from local pore waters and by diffusion.

30 Dolomitization Model based on geochemistry in Great Bahama Bank - Dolomitization early and episodic - Massive dolomite = normal marine sea water after diagenesis from aragonite to LMC Mechanism unclear (Reflux, Kohout) - Hardground dolomite = cold marine waters at top into partly altered sediment Mg diffusing from top down Sulfate reduction - Microsucrosic dolomite recrystallisation of sediment and precipitation into pore space Conclusions High sea level: Thermal convection dominant force for fluid flow Low sea level: Reflux is dominant, if a constant recharge is maintained, not likely on an exposed platform Lithology: plays minor role for fluid flow Anisotropy: important, high anisotropy inhibits vertical movement Compaction: less important than thermal convection Flow (1 m/y) over 1 Ma sufficient for pervasive dolomitization of reef at Unda by Kohout convection Dolomitization on Great Bahama Bank: Normal Marine Sea water Episodic Diffusive below submarine hardgrounds Kohout convection possible flow mechanism for dolomitized buried margin 30
