A diagenetic study was carried out on the cored Miocene section in CRP-1 by thin-section, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, electron microprobe and stable isotopic analysis. Carbonate (calcite, siderite) microconcretions occur locally within intergranular pores and open fractures, and...
