In some cases, the carbonate mud matrix of mudstones, wackestones, and some packstones has recrystallized to a fabric of crystals (fine to coarse crystalline) that superficially resemble cement, and such fabrics are known as "neomorphic spar" (or "neospar") ... 3, record 1, English, - neomorphic%20spar

Molluscan packstone with 5% fine quartz and phosphatic sand and silt, with a clotted texture in micrite matrix(neomorphic spar), skeletal grains include bored mollusk(partially leached aragonitic and calcitic) shells, partially leached echinoid fragments, foraminifers(partially leached), ostracodes; blocky calcite on skeletal surfaces; low porosity(<3%) with minor interparticle and moldic pore space. 4, record 1, English, - neomorphic%20spar

remplacement : Dissolution d'une phase et précipitation simultanée (concomitante) d'une nouvelle phase à la place, sans création de porosité secondaire. [Dans le type de remplacement] néomorphique (le nouveau grain est constitué par la même phase que l'ancien grain ou un polymorphe); ex : calcite. 2, record 1, French, - spath%20de%20remplacement%20n%C3%A9omorphique

On observe [...] aussi des bancs de remplacement néomorphique qui avancent généralement vers 1a surface des calcrètes à partir de la base. La limite qui sépare la zone intacte de la zone laminée est habituellement très bien définie [...] c'est-à-dire qu'il n'y a pas de gradation entre les deux zones. Ce phénomène est bien visible dans certains échantillons, alors que la base horizontale et le cœur des nodules sont complètement recristallisés, tandis que leur périphérie demeure intacte. Nous croyons, dans ce cas-ci, que la source du néomorphisme provient de la surface de croissance de la roche hôte. 3, record 1, French, - spath%20de%20remplacement%20n%C3%A9omorphique
