Abstract

Postdepositional low-temperature mineralogical changes in Carboniferous sedimentary rocks from Vestspitsbergen are described. These include the crystallization of apatite, quartz, and feldspar, and the replacement of feldspar and quartz by calcite and dolomite. Minerals of the chalcedonite–lutecime–quartzine group also occur.
