between supersaturated and undersaturated states. In this proposed mechanism, initial dolomite precipitation results in a cation-disordered surface. Subsequent undersaturation dissolves the disordered crystals and allows for increased order when precipitated again. Modern dolomitization zones frequently experience alternating periods with and without rain, which in turn allows for fluctuation in saturation state. Saturation fluctuations can increase dolomite precipitation
