From: Coevolution of diagenetic fronts and fluid-fracture pathways
Conceptual model on the evolution of dolomitization, fracture system and karstification in the study area. (A) Early, seawater-derived dolomitization which predated fracturing. (B) Formation of fracture corridors, preferentially along the dolomite-limestone boundary. This provides vertical fluid pathways for upward flux of warm, Mg-rich fluids. (C) The last stage represents the development of solution collapse during the interaction between groundwater/meteoric water and carbonate rocks associated with the formation of Cenozoic Alpine Orogeny.
