Insights Into the Dolomitization Process and Porosity Modification in Sucrosic Dolostones, Avon Park Formation (Middle Eocene), East-Central Florida, U.S.A.
Secular change in the Precambrian silica cycle: Insights from chert petrology
Dolomitization-induced aquifer heterogeneity: Evidence from the upper Floridan aquifer, southwest Florida
Abstract: Two cores drilled on the western margin of Great Bahama Banks penetrated a total of 1131 m of Quaternary to Late Neogene platform and periplatform carbonate sediments. These carbonates show a wide range of diagenetic textures ranging from largely unaltered primary carbonates to texturally mature limestones and dolostones. Although some of these carbonates have been diagenetically altered under freshwater conditions and show classic geochemical and petrographic indicators of such, other rocks exhibit similar petrographic features yet have never experienced meteoric influences. These features include micrite envelopes, moldic porosity, blocky spar cementation, and aragonite neomorphism The core Unda (453.8 m) includes three successions of shallow-water platform to reef sediments that alternate with deeper shelf deposits of silt to coarse sand. Clino, the more distal core, penetrated 677.3 m. It contains an upper reef to platform (21.6-140 m) overlying a thick package of deep forereef to upper and lower slope sediments (140-677.3 m). Three diagenetic zones were identified on the basis of similar diagenetic fabrics. Diagenetic zone 1 (Unda 0-108.08 m; Clino 0-152.71 m) is characterized by minor early marine diagenesis overprinted by numerous episodes of subaerial exposure with caliches, large-scale dissolution, and blocky spar cementation. Diagenetic zone II includes the lower reef and platform in Unda (292.82360.28 m) and has the most complex alteration in these cores. Minor early marine diagenesis was followed by several episodes of meteoric diagenesis, Most of the early fabrics, however, were destroyed during pervasive dolomitization in the burial environment. Diagenetic zone III includes deeper shelf to slope facies in both cores (Unda 108.08-292.82 m; 360.28-452.94 m; Clino 152.71-677.27 m) and shows only marine to marine-burial diagenesis. The exact fabrics within these intervals varies by lithology. Peloidal packstones to grainstones show minimal alteration (primarily compaction, minor dolomitization, and some recrystallization). Skeletal grainstones show two different styles of modification. Most commonly the grainstones are characterized by nearly complete dissolution of aragonitic components, minor cementation, and 10% to 20% early burial dolomite. Grainstones interbedded with the tight peloidal sediments, on the other hand, show nearly complete blocky spar cementation along with neomorphism of aragonitic skeletal grains (peloids were dissolved). Several marine hardgrounds with penecontemporaneous dolomite and/or phosphate and blackening also occur within the deeper-water facies. Each diagenetic zone in Clino and Unda is characterized by fabrics developed in one or more diagenetic environment. The larger-scale controls, therefore, are those that govern the diagenetic environment. For these young sediments, the most important are the depositional system (i.e., reef and platform versus deeper margin to slope) and the sea-level history. As a result, the diagenetic zones largely coincide with the depositional successions and seismic sequences identified in these cores. This study shows that the end product of marine to marine-burial diagenesis appears very similar to the end product of alteration in the phreatic meteoric environment i.e., a limestone composed of LMC and minor dolomite with micrite envelopes, moldic porosity, blocky spar cementation, and aragonite neornorphism. On this basis, a reevaluation is needed of the criteria for recognizing meteoric diagenesis in ancient carbonate sequences. Without clear physical evidence of subaerial exposure (e.g., caliche horizons or vadosecements) or chemical evidence of meteoric fluids (e.g., negative δ 18 O) great care is needed to identify meteoric diagenesis, In addition, the large-scale (> 100 m) sea-level lowstands of the latest Pleistocene did not result in significant phreatic meteoric diagenesis, perhaps because the fresh-water lens is too far below the recharge zone.
