Google is too dumb to let me put the list of news in this column and falsely claims that all my pages are self-duplicates.

Google's so-called "Artificial Intelligence" is an abuse of the concept of intelligence!

Calcite


Decrepitation is usually extremely intense, but at unusually high temperatures given the typically low formation temperature of calcite.

This sample is from the Bou Jaber mine in Tunisia, a small, limestone hosted karst breccia with Pb, Zn, F and Ba mineralization. Fluid inclusion homogenization data in barite and fluorite indicate a formation temperature of 90-120 C from hydrocarbon rich source fluids. Calcite and other carbonates have decrepitation peaks ranging from 400 to 800 C which do not reflect formation temperature.
