| He concluded that lithification of the powdery material produced the orange sinters. |
|
| Sometime after lithification of the soft carbonate sediment, dissolution of gypsum took place, selectively producing vast numbers of molds of gypsum nodules. |
|
| These differences could be related to variation in degree of lithification of the overburden, causing it to collapse vertically rather than with more gentle downsagging. |
|
| Limestones originate mainly through the lithification of loose carbonate sediments. |
|
| What fosters the lithification and cementation in the North-West Atlantic but so far not in the North-East Atlantic will become an important matter of discussion. |
|
| Carbonate concretions can form very early in diagenetic history, prior to lithification of surrounding sediment. |
|
| Under this rock layer there is compact crystalline rock which, as a result of lithification and the high pressure to which it is subjected, is practically impermeable. |
|
| The available evidence suggests the possibility of karst dissolution, collapse and brecciation, followed by lithification. |
|
| The conversion of sediment to rock is termed lithification. |
|
| The rock you are standing on was formed by the lithification of sediment deposited in a warm tropical ocean that once covered this area 450 million years ago. |
|
| In the case of silica cements, the process is called lithification. |
|
| Lithification, the process by which sediment is converted into solid sedimentary rock, is one result of diagenesis. |
|
| Lithification, complex process whereby freshly deposited loose grains of sediment are converted into rock. |
