The lecture present a revision on cave dolomite occurrence from studied examples in Spain and Slovenia, and compares them with other reported examples elsewhere from the literature. It highlights the common spheroidal morphology of dolomite in cave settings and discusses the possible controls on this morphology, emphasizing the possible role of Mg-clays, organic matter, and non classical pathways of crystallization.

COBISS.SI-ID: 41168685In this talk we presented data on the nature and origin of the sodium sulfate efflorescences occurring in Slano Blato landslide. We discussed the possible role of the salt formation and transformation in the landslide evolution and we explained how sandstone diagenesis could explain the source of sodium.
