Abstract
With lithification and burial, diatomaceous rock transforms from opal-A to opal-CT and then quartz. This study documents two different patterns of porosity reduction and their associated mineralogical and density changes using samples from the Monterey Formation, California. Samples that have one set of properties are called group 1, and those showing other trends are assigned to group 2.
