These smallest fabric elements most likely are formed by the early cementation of a complex consortium of mat-building cyanobacteria, heterotrophic bacteria and eucaryotic algae.
Only one of the socalled 'cement-like' bands is laterally extensive, and other 'cement-like' bands are localized due to groundwater cementation.
Cementation seems to have occurred after considerable compaction, since adjacent grains are frequently in contact, with the syntaxial growth infilling corners between grains.
A method which played a significant role in the development of the concept of the chemical compound, was the extraction of copper through cementation.
Loose packing of framework grains shows that quartz cementation was initiated prior to major compaction but probably continued until relatively recent times.
Conglomerates show a low to medium degree of cementation.
Presumably, as deformation continues, new fracture pathways develop, replacing those which become sealed by cementation and pressure solution.
The carbonate cementation as well as the carbonate in the cavities is derived from local circulation of hydrothermal fluids.
