Table 2

Elemental composition (Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, and Sr) of the different calcite cements (Cc1 to Cc4), the interparticle cement Cc0 in the footwall host rocks (FW), and the hanging wall rocks (HW). The calculated Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca molar ratios of the parent fluid using the distribution coefficient equation [57] are also shown.
