Abstract

Using the X-ray phase method, the mineral composition of modern mineral sediments of Lake Salda in Turkey was studied. It has been established that the deposits are represented by hydromagnesite Mg5(CO3)4(OH)2×4H2O, guntite CaMg3(CO3)4 and a mechanical admixture of enstatite Mg2Si2O6. The role of organic components (cyanobacteria and diatoms) in the formation of carbonate mineral sediments is noted.
