 MARL - LoveToKnow Article on MARL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Gypsum occurs in some marls, occasionally in large simple crystals with the form of lozenge-shaped plates or in twinned groups resembling an arrow-head; fine examples of these are obtained in the mans of Montmartre near Paris, where celestine (strontium sulphate) occurs also in nodular or concretionary masses.
At its base the white chalk is often mixed with clay, and the chalk marl is a rock of this kind; it is known in Cambridgeshire, at Folkestone, in the Isle of Wight, andc.
The chloritic marl, which underlies the chalk and is well developed in the Isle of Wight, is a greenish argillaceous limestone, the color being due to the presence of glauconite, not of chlorite; it is often very fossiliferous.

 When marl meant money -- Wisconsin Natural Resources magazine
Surveys suggested this marl deposit was 15 to 21 feet deep, and vast enough to mine for years.This was especially encouraging because marl deposits were quite variable.
The marl deposit was remote: a full six miles south of the town of Dousman, in southeastern Wisconsin, near the Scuppernong Springs, a resort then popular with honeymooners.
Today, the marl factory ruins are a stopover for hikers on their way to the Scuppernong artesian springs.

 LMA
Differential diagenesis of limestone-marl alternations is a process of redistribution of calcium carbonate from marl layers to limestone beds by dissolution, migration of ions, and ipitation.
Reconstructing of the original mineralogical composition of the precursor sediment of limestone-marl alternations is based on a diagenesis model that assumes dissolution of aragonite and reprecipitation as calcite cement as the major mechanism of early diagenesis.
Because the marls are a compacted residual sediment depleted in aragonite, the calcite-clay ratio of the diagenetically mature marls is identical to the ratio in the precursor sediment, and thus is given by the carbonate content of the marl.

 Belemnite Marls
The Belemnite Marls (averaging 23m), are a series of bluish-gray marls that are a lot paler than the Black Ven Marls that they rest upon.
Throughout the Belemnite Marls there is a distinct colour variation between beds of lighter marl (containing a higher carbonate content), and the darker marls (containing a higher organic carbon content).
The regularity of the couplets in segments of the sequence, combined with a regular amplitude modulation, indicates an origin that is related to the orbital-precession cycle (i.e., one of the Milankovitch parameters).

The Glauconitic Marl exhibits poorly developed rhythmicity towards the top and is locally overlain by a thin, weakly glauconitic limestone (Marker horizon M2 of Gale, 1989), which has yielded the zonal index of the Neostlingoceras carcitanense Subzone.
In the lowest and highest beds of the Chalk Marl (in the traditional sense, not that of TML), the sedimentary rhythmicity is very conspicuous, but in the middle part of the succession the rhythmicity is rather indistinct due to a higher overall clay content.
The base of the Plenus Marls is a major erosion surface and sequence boundary, with Plenus Marls sediments piped down in burrows for up to 0.5 m into the underlying chalk of the White Bed.
