Petrographic images of the samples from the quarries, a micrite to sparite fabric of sample RA-1 that shows a microfissure and fine stylolite due to diagnosis pressure; b sparite fabric from QJ-1 including rhombohedral crystals of dolomite (marked with arrows); c sparite crystals from CM-1 including bioclast filled with secondary phase (clay or iron component); d bioclast fabric of SD-1; e multi-layer fabric from micrite to sparite from CM-1 including stylolites; f detail of hypidiotopic sparite crystals from CM-1; g yellow arrow indicates rhombohedral crystals of dolomite from BM-1 scattered within the micrite to sparite fabric; h crosscutting of veins filled with sparitic calcite beside stylolites in sample AD-1;i detail of AD-1 fabric indicates rhombohedral dolomite crystals beside the vein (yellow arrow); j dark crystals within the micrite fabric of QJ-2, yellow arrow indicates two probable opaque cubic crystals; k Alizarin Red S staining of CM-1 indicates the wide presence of dolomite crystals, arrows indicate secondary porosities; l widespread dolomite crystals within the fabric of RA-1 after Alizarin Red S staining
