Stylolites: A review
Renaud Toussaint, E. Aharonov, D. Koehn +5
Stylolites are ubiquitous geo-patterns observed in rocks in the upper crust, from geological reservoirs in sedimentary rocks to deformation zones, in folds, faults, and shear zones…
Single-contact pressure solution creep on calcite monocrystals
Sergei Zubtsov, François Renard, Jean-Pierre Gratier +2
Pressure solution creep rates and interface structures have been measured by two methods on calcite single crystals. In the first kind of experiments, calcite monocrystals were ind…
Variety of stylolites morphologies and statistical characterization of the amount of heterogeneities in the rock
Alexandre Brouste, François Renard, Jean-Pierre Gratier +1
The surface roughness of several stylolites in limestones was measured using high resolution laser profilometry. The 1D signals obtained were statistically analyzed to determine th…
Experimental microstylolites in quartz and modelling of natural stylolitic structures
Jean-Pierre Gratier, Laurent Muquet, Riad Hassani +1
Experimental microstylolites have been observed at stressed contacts between quartz grains loaded for several weeks in the presence of an aqueous silica solution, at 350 8C and 50…
The roughness of stylolites: Implications of 3D high resolution topography measurements
Jean Schmittbuhl, Francois Renard, Jean-Pierre Gratier +1
Stylolites are natural pressure-dissolution surfaces in sedimentary rocks. We present 3D high resolution measurements at laboratory scales of their complex roughness. The topograph…
Roughness of stylolites: a stress-induced instability with non local interactions
J. Schmittbuhl, F. Renard, J. P. Gratier
We study the roughness of stylolite surfaces (i.e. natural pressure-dissolution surfaces in sedimentary rocks) from profiler measurements at laboratory scales. The roughness is sho…
