From: Geochemical and petrographic identification of stone quarries used for the construction of the Anahita Temple of Kangavar (West Iran)

Fig. 5

Petrographic images of samples from the Temple: a multi-layer fabric of sample KN-1 including micrite to sparite; b multi-layer fabric of KN-7 in which the crosscutting veins are brighter in the micrite matrix; c crosscutting veins and stylolite in sample KN-8. Yellow arrows show an empty vein (secondary porosity); d detail of hypidiotopic calcite crystals from KN-8; e detail of micro-sparite texture from KN-3, which shows the hypidiotopic calcite crystals; f detail of hypidiotopic sparite from KN-2; g detail of stylolite and cubic opaque crystals from KN-2 (yellow arrow); h arrows show the opaque cubic crystals in the fabric of KN-1; i Alizarin Red S staining test indicates idiotopic rhombohedral crystals of dolomite in the fabric of KN-1
