Radius Effect of the Alkaline Earths on the Rate of Inversion of Aragonite to Calcite

The effect of magnesium, strontium, and other alkaline earths on the formation and persistence of metastable carbonates in the natural environment was investigated to determine the nature of the controlling mechanism. Barium and beryllium were studied to evaluate the effect of ionic radius; magnesiu...
