[...] l’inverse de la dolomitisation : les cristaux de dolomite sont rongés et épigénisés par la calcite. Parfois, le remplacement de la dolomite par la calcite est total. On ne reconnaît le cristal que par sa forme. Quelquefois, au contraire, il subsiste un squelette du cristal originel de dolomite, dont l’intérieur seul est calcifié.

When relating the genesis of orebodies to major tectonic features such as island arcs and continental mountain chains it is essential to know the age relations between the mineral deposits and their host rocks ... One of the reasons why a knowledge of age relations is important is that in the classical geosynclinal theory it was held that all the rocks of the geosyncline were formed within a subsiding linear trough. 1, record 20, English, - subsiding%20trough
