They are dominated by dolomite/ankerite and siderite. These deposits originated as a result of displacive cementation of host sediment in a range of post-depositional environments, from shallow subsurface to deep-burial ones. Preliminary results of the carbon and oxygen isotopic survey of these deposits in southern Spitsbergen (Lĺgkollane, Ingebrigtsenbukta, Reinodden, and Lidfjellet sections) show the δ13C values ranging between –13.0‰ and –1.8‰ VPDB, and the δ18O values between –16.0‰ and –7.7‰ VPDB. These results suggest that the major stage of formation of the carbonate deposits occurred during burial diagenesis under increased temperature, most probably in late diagenetic to early catagenic environments. Carbonate carbon for mineral precipitation was derived from dissolution of skeletal carbonate and from thermal decomposition of organic matter.}, type={Article}, title={Carbon and oxygen isotopic survey of diagenetic carbonate deposits in the Agardhfjellet Formation (Upper Jurassic), Spitsbergen: preliminary results}, URL={http://sd.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/110645/PDF-MASTER/ppr25-027.pdf}, keywords={Arctic, Spitsbergen, Agardhfjellet Formation (Jurassic), diagenetic carbonate deposits, carbon and oxygen isotopes}, }
