Dolomite problem

[edit]

A description of the issue and a link might be provided to Dolomite_(rock)#The_dolomite_problem_and_primary_dolomite. It appears to have recently been solved in any case e.g. ‘Dolomite Problem’: 200-year-old geology mystery resolved | University of Michigan News (umich.edu) Geopersona (talk) 11:51, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The link to the Kim et al. (2023) article in “Science” claiming to have “solved” the dolomite problem is here.

If you scroll down to the eLetter section, two of the letters point out that Kim et al. very likely mis-indexed their selected area electron diffraction data (an easy thing to do for those inexperienced with interpreting SAED patterns). Therefore, it is unlikely that they synthesize an ordered dolomite phase in their laboratory experiments. The eLetter by Xu et al. (2024) concludes: “…the dissolution-precipitation model proposed by Kim et al. does not result in ordered dolomite in the laboratory and cannot explain the abundance and variation of dolomite in geological history.” 184.96.165.74 (talk) 16:12, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I'm a student working on this page as a class project. I'm aiming to improve the page in the following areas. The article's content is lacking in that here are no sections or subsections and there are only two paragraphs of text. The information in the current article is all relevant and presented in a way accessible to a non-scientific audience, however, including information on the dolomite problem and recent progress in that area would improve the article. Also, more links to other wikipedia articles could be included. The sources all need updating as they are all outdated. Including recent review articles will update the information. Please chime in with any suggestions you have for the article!Sbuett (talk) 20:57, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
