Ooids (/ ˈoʊˌɔɪd /, [1] from Ancient Greek ᾠόν (ōión) 'egg stone') [2] are small (commonly ≤2 mm in diameter), spheroidal, "coated" (layered) sedimentary grains, usually composed of calcium …

Oolite or oölite (from Ancient Greek ᾠόν (ōión) ' egg stone ') [1] is a sedimentary rock formed from ooids, spherical grains composed of concentric layers. [2] Strictly, oolites consist of ooids of …

Jul 1, 2024 · Ooids are concentrically-laminated, sedimentary grains produced through successive stages of carbonate precipitation and abrasion that typically form above wave base in tropical …

Ooids are small rounded accretionary mineralized bodies. They could be called sand grains, but they are no ordinary sand grains. Just like normal sand grains, ooids have a diameter reaching …

: shaped like an egg. : one of the individual spherical concretionary bodies that characterize an oolite. Greek ōioeidēs, from ōi- o- + -eidēs -oid. Expand your vocabulary and dive deeper into …

Mar 1, 2019 · Ooids are spherical or ovoidal carbonate grains (typically <2 mm in diameter) of smooth, well-laminated cortices that accrete around a nucleus, typically a bioclast, peloid, …

Coated grains include oolites, pisolites, oncoids, and oncolites. oolites (figure below) are formed by a series of concentric layers surrounding a nucleus. They generally form in agitated marine …

Jan 29, 2018 · Here we investigate a rare and beautiful geophysical problem that combines both of these processes; the shape evolution of carbonate particles known as ooids.

OOIDS are a distinctive type of sand that usually form on the sea floor. After they have been buried under additional sediment, such sand grains can be fused into a solid mass of …

Common ooid nuclei are peloids and fragments of Halimeda, red algae, and mollusks. You might find these chapters and articles relevant to this topic. Most Upper Jurassic reservoirs are …
