Kasemann, WolfgangBach Geology 51 (2023), 875 https://doi.org/10.1130/G51238.1 Carbonate formation during the alteration [...] 50–74 Ma basaltic basement of the Louisville Seamount Chain. More than 90% of the carbonate formed <20 m.y. after seamount emplacement. Vesicle carbonate precipitated within 8 m.y. (median = 2.9 m.y.) whereas
