This volume contains 23 state-of-the-art papers presented at the
Dolomieu Conference on Carbonate Platforms and Dolomitization held
in September 1991 in Ortisei, Italy. The conference was
co-sponsored by the International Association of Sedimentologists
(IAS) and the Society for Sedimentary Geology (SEPM), and marked
the 200th anniversary of the 1791 paper by Deodat de Dolomieu
describing dolomite in detail for the first time. The papers
presented do not aim to give a complete review of the current state
of the dolomitic art, but rather discuss important advances and
gaps in our knowledge of dolomitization.
* * State-of-the-art papers from worldwide experts.
* Includes basic science and economic applications.
