Microbial Activity and Neomorphism Influence the Composition and Microfabric of Ooids From Great Salt Lake, UT

By Tyler A. Lincoln, Samuel M. Webb & 3 more. Well-developed radial aragonite microfabrics and the ubiquitous occurrence of a Mg-silicate phase in Great Salt Lake ooids suggest influence of microbial activity and neomorphism.
