The typical mineral facies of the burial metamorphism of sediments containing zeolites. 3, record 1, English, - zeolite%20facies
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The critical zeolite of this facies is not just any zeolite but laumontite … which never occurs in unmetamorphosed sediments. Winkler, therefore, more accurately calls the zeolite facies the laumontite-prehnite-quartz facies. 3, record 1, English, - zeolite%20facies

Les faciès métamorphiques. [...] On distingue [...] : - faciès des zéolites (à laumontite, défini par la cristallinité de l'illite), qui marque la transition entre diagenèse et métamorphisme [...] 2, record 1, French, - faci%C3%A8s%20%C3%A0%20z%C3%A9olites
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Les zéolites ne sont pas tous des minéraux de métamorphisme; certains peuvent se former en surface. En revanche, d'autres nécessitent des températures élevées; par exemple, la laumontite [...] n'apparaît qu'à 300 °C. Il y a donc transition entre les phénomènes de diagenèse qui transforment les sédiments en roches et le faciès à zéolites. 4, record 1, French, - faci%C3%A8s%20%C3%A0%20z%C3%A9olites
