Sequence stratigraphic controls on formation of dolomite: Insights from the Carboniferous Um Bogma Formation, Sinai-Egypt

By this mean, the dolomitization began early and penecontemporaneous with carbonate deposition at sediment surface or near subsurface and continued by precipitation of dolomite overgrowths and pore filling dolomite cements during later diagenesis, which is supported by oxygen isotope analyses.
