The carbonates and elemental sulfur are formed from oxidation of biogenic methane during reduction of Miocene calcium sulfates, celestite formed during aragonite-calcite recrystallization. The investigation aims to understand the biogeochemical processes associated to mineral (trans)formation. The trace elements (Sr, Mg, Mn, Ba, Na) bond to the carbonate lattice are measured to estimate the parent solution composition. Results are published in Böttcher & Parafiniuk (1998) in the journal Isotopes in Environmental & Health Studies.

This includes the stable carbon and oxygen isotope as well as trace element (Sr, Mg, Mn, Ba, Na) composition of primary and secondary calcite and aragonite, and the S and O isotope composition of secondary celestite. In mixed carbonate samples, relative proportions of calcite to aragonite are determined by powder X-ray diffraction.
