Abstract: Abstract Chemical precipitation of CaCO 3 occurs in diverse marine and lacustrine environments. In the hypersaline Ca-chloride lakes that have been occupying the Dead Sea basin since the late Pleistocene, CaCO 3 precipitated, mostly as… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The laminated sequences of the Holocene Dead Sea (DS) and its late Pleistocene precursor Lake Lisan comprise primary aragonite and fine detritus that record the hydro-climate conditions of the late Quaternary Levant. Several studies… read more here.
