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

(...) l'exploitation de beaucoup la plus importante [en Floride] porte sur les "land pebbles". Ces minerais (...) consistent en granules phosphatés, ou pebbles, noyés dans des dépôts détritiques ou résiduels, superposés aux schistes oligocènes (...). Les pebbles sont des morceaux de phosphate blanc de quelques centimètres, à teneur de 55 à 75 p. 100, enrobés dans des sables et argiles titrant 20 à 30 p. 100. Ces dépôts sont mêlés de coquilles, dents de squales, os de mammifères. 1, record 3, French, - land%20pebble
