Concluding Remarks
For better understanding of the processes involved in the travertine development, it is essential to know the basic chemical principles (Chap. 2), the sedimentolog...

Introduction
Stone of light yellow color, sometimes laminated and porous, is often found on wall material. The word travertine in general means such kind of limestone material. It was derived from lapis tiburtinus that means ...

Sedimentology of Travertine
Sediment bodies of travertine exhibit unique geomorphology that results from its rapid sedimentation rate. As described in Chap. 2 and will be discussed in Chap. ...

Geomicrobiological Processes for Laminated Textures
A laminated deposit is a record of cyclic changes of physical, geochemical, and microbiological conditions. The laminated pattern is often quite regular. In lacustrine verves, regular seasonal changes in weath...

Travertines in Japan
In this chapter, we describe several representative travertine sites in the Japanese islands. According to our extensive search, there are at least 30 hot springs that developed calcareous deposits (Fig. 7.1, ...

Basic Knowledge of Geochemical Processes
Travertines (or thermogene travertines in Pentecost 2005) are formed from hydrothermal water with an initial high concentration of Ca2+ and CO2 partial pressure (Ford and Pedley 1996; Gandin and Capezzuoli 2008, ...

Methods
Because the travertine is a product associated with geological, physical, chemical, and microbiological conditions, comprehensive understanding of its formational processes requires a wide range of analyses wi...

Geochemical Model for Rapid Carbonate Precipitation of Travertines
In the last chapter, we demonstrate the daily processes of the sub-mm-scale lamination. When favorable geochemical and hydrological conditions sustain, travertine can grow at a rate of tens of centimeters per ...
