Abstract
Petrographic investigation using a cathodoluminescent microscope and an electron microprobe for selected dolomite samples from the Beekmantown Group reveals six dolomite textures. These dolomite textures have been classified based on crystal sizes, shapes, uniformity and trace-element distribution. The textures are as follows: 1) unimodal, very finely crystalline, planar-e (euhedral) dolomite, 2) unimodal, very finely crystalline, planar-s (subhedral) dolomite, 3) medium to coarsely crystalline, planar-e (euhedral) dolomite, 4) coarsely crystalline, non-planar dolomite (non-saddle dolomite), 5) very coarsely crystalline, non-planar dolomite (saddle dolomite), and 6) polymodal dolomite.
