lithification

Boring algae, micrite envelopes and lithification of molluscan biosparites.

Because the lithification of calcite is affected by organic contaminants, samples of Cladophora sp.

However, it may represent a preservational artefact because of sediment compression during lithification.

Bulk volume analysis represents the amount of the bulk water volume that preserve in sediments during deposition and lithification before the hydrocarbon migrating to the reservoir rocks, which is known as connate water (Tiab and Donaldson, 1996)

Sediments transported and deposited within sedimentary basins may undergo modifications during lithification and diagenesis while still in their weak (soft) state.

The different stages of diagenesis are composed of burial and compaction of material in sedimentary basins; the sandstones and shales undergo changes in their physical, chemical, textural, and mineralogical properties which are reflected in the sediment density, the compaction of the granular package, and loss of porosity [5]; additionally, a chemical alteration occurs in sandstones generating cementation and lithification as a product of chemical precipitation affecting detrital grains, dissolution, recrystallization, or mineralogical alteration [6].

It is formed when layers of minerals, fine sediment along with skeleton fragments and shells of marine organisms go through lithification. First of all, the report provides the limestone market overview with the detailed analysis on the market segmentation.

This facies probably originated in the upper slope environment where early lithification allowed intraclasts to be incorporated into flows.

For B-[B.sup.1] and C-[C.sup.1] profiles which are about 1 km away from the dumpsite, resistivity inversion occurs as resistivity on the average increases with depth due to the assumed normal compaction or lithification of sediments at deeper depth of burial.

Thermal analysis of basalt containing ceramic masses showed that with increasing amounts of basalt an increase in mass loss, which, in our opinion, is connected with the content of aqueous minerals in basalt (hlorofeit), which is saturated with water lithification of residual melt.
