ABSTRACT: Platform-Wide Dolomitization in Northern Belize: Modern Analog of Widespread, Early Platform Dolomitization
2002
American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin
Holocene dolomite is ubiquitous in northern Belize, apparently more so than in any other area of the world. Average amount in peritidal and shallow-marine deposits is 70% (range 35-100%) and 12% (range 1-65%), respectively, and it is present throughout such sediment sections. Dolomites are poorly ordered and calcic (39.5-47 mole% MgCO3). Peritidal dolomites occur in both cement and replacive modes; average crystal size is 1.5 microns. Marine dolomites occur dominantly as cement; average crystal
