The results of a number of experiments simulating the early diagenesis of carbonate ooids are presented and discussed. consideratin of both inorganic and organic reactions indicate that the presence and maturation of organic matter i scritica. It is suggested matter, while the inorganic reactions are likely to be controlled by the by‐products of the maturation of the oraganic matter. In gernral the results obtained show a marked similarily to the geilogical situation.
