Institute für Geowissenschaften, Universität Potsdam INVESTIGATIONS ON SEDIMENTOLOGY AND EARLY DIAGENESIS IN SHALLOW-WATER WARM-TEMPERATE TO TROPICAL MIOCENE CARBONATES: A CASE STUDY FROM NORTHERN SARDINIA, ITALY Dissertation Zur Erlangerung des akademischen Grades Doktor der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) In der Wissenschaftsdiziplin Geologie Eingericht an der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultat Der Universität Potsdam Von Gabriela Helena Marcano Romero Published online at the Institutional Repository of the University of Potsdam: http://opus.kobv.de/ubp/volltexte/2009/2920/ urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-29207 [http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-29207] -ABSTRACT- This study investigated the warm-temperate to tropical shallow-water Miocene carbonates of the Perfugas basin (Anglona area), northern Sardinia, Italy (Central Mediterranean). The aim of this study was to identify and document the existence and significance of early diagenesis in this carbonate system, especially the diagenetic history, which reflects the diagenetic potential in terms of skeletal mineralogy. The motivation behind the present study was to investigate the role that early cementation has over facies stabilization linked to differences in biotic associations in shallow-water settings.
