Abstract

Petrographic and fluid inclusion studies were carried out on limestones, dolomites and dedolomites from Upper Jurassic sponge-algal reefs in SW Germany (Geislingen and Herrlingen areas) to reveal their general diagenetic development and especially their deeper burial history. The first results of the study allow a 12-phase diagenetic history to be reconstructed, which includes two karstification and three dolomitization phases. In addition granular meniscus cements indicate local early diagenetic subaerial exposure and meteoric vadose conditions.
