•Dolomite stoichiometry as a proxy for tracking fluid chemistry, temperature, and flow direction in fault-related hydrothermal dolomites: field observations from the early Silurian succession of the Michigan Basin (M. Al-Musawi)

•Paragenesis of the upper Ordovician Saluda formation: insights from petrographic analyses (A. Scott)

•A detailed petrological investigation of the Byron Formation peri-tidal marine limestones and dolostones, Michigan Basin, USA (All)

•A decade of laboratory and field studies: lessons learned from investigating dolomite mineralogy (S. Kaczmarek)

•Undergraduates will be listed in an upcoming post, stay tuned!
