- The
origin of
micrites is
still a
problem in
carbonate sedimentology due to the non-uniqueness of the
processes generating it.
Micrite can be generated...
-
crystals less than 5 μm (0.20 mils) in
length is
described as
micrite. In
fresh carbonate mud,
micrite is
mostly small aragonite needles,
which may precipitate...
-
Peloids are
allochems that are
composed of
micrite,
irrespective of size, shape, or origin. The two
primary types of
peloids are
pellets and intraclasts...
- three-dimensional
shapes of self-****embling
micrites examines Platonic solids (regular polyhedral). The term '
micrite' was
created by
DARPA to
refer to sub-millimeter...
-
texture contrasts with limestone,
which is
usually a
mixture of grains,
micrite (very fine-grained
carbonate mud) and
sparry cement. The
optical properties...
