Replacement dolomite in the Latemar carbonate buildup, northern Italy, formed when limestone was infiltrated by and reacted with Mg-rich fluid. It occurs in discrete bodies in sharp contact with unreacted limestone. The dolomite developed in a nearly orthogonal lattice of vertical columns (replacement of limestone breccia pipes) and sheets (replacement along fractures and limestone-dike contacts) and of nearly horizontal bedding-parallel sheets and tubes. Mapped patterns of replacement dolomite directly image that part of the plumbing system in which the amount of fluid flow was sufficient to form dolomite. Decreases in the proportion of dolomite relative to limestone and in the proportion of vertical relative to horizontal dolomite-limestone contacts with increasing elevation indicate that the overall direc- tion of fluid flow was upward and then outward along more permeable bedding horizons. Dolomite is significantly enriched in Fe, Mn, and Zn, as well as in Mg, relative to calcite in precursor limestone but not in Cu, Ni, Co, Cr, Ba, or Pb. The Fe, Mn, and Zn content of dolomite varies spatially within outcrops from the scale of meters down to the micron scale of oscillatory growth zoning in individual dolomite crystals. The variation is interpreted in terms of a dolomitizing fluid that, unlike unmodified seawater, contained significant amounts of Fe, Mn, and Zn, as well as of Mg, and whose composition varied in space at a range of scales and in time at the site of growth of individual dolomite crystals. A nearly complete overlap in the 13C of dolomite (2.04.6‰, VPDB) and calcite (1.14.0‰) is evidence that the 13 Co f most dolomite was inherited directly from the calcite precursor. Measured 18O of dolomite has a wide range (21.827.7‰, VSMOW) overlapping with that of calcite (23.428.5‰) but shifted to lower values. Dolomite with 18O <23.4 permil could not have been equilibrium with any analyzed calcite at any temperature. The ranges in 18ODol and 18 OCal and values of 18 ODol <23.4 permil both indicate that 18 O of calcite and dolomite were set by oxygen isotope exchange with the same fluid over a range of temperatures, with isotopically different fluids, or both.
