The formation of calcite and dolomite at seeps is confined to strongly reducing environments that tend to occur at greater depth within the sediment pile (Haas et al., 2010). In conditions below the sediment–water interface, calcite and dolomite precipitate within the pore space of marine sediments consisting largely of fine …

Biogenic and synthetic high magnesium calcite – A review
The formation of Mg-bearing calcite was interpreted as the following process: firstly, aragonite nuclei, formed owing to Mg ions at the initial stage of CaCO 3 crystallization, which was then transformed into calcite nuclei through a solid-to-solid process while their growth was inhibited by the adsorption of carboxylic acids (Wada et …

The transformed polymorphs are vaterite and calcite at low temperature (14 to 30°C), and aragonite and calcite at high temperature (60 to 80°C). At intermediate temperatures (40 to 50°C) the formation of all three polymorphs was observed. Metastable polymorphs are gradually transformed to the stable form, calcite.

Hence, formation of vaterite in the presence of DTPA at 150 °C could be due to two possibilities (i) by formation of new vaterite nuclei or (ii) by the transformation of existing calcite. Though second possibility seems to be violating the second law of thermodynamics, the formation of vaterite along with calcite at intermediate …
