Abstract
Structural parameters have been refined using X-ray intensity data for a stoichiometric dolomite single crystal at room pressure and at 1.50, 2.90, 3.70, and 4.69 GPa; and for a single crystal of a ferroan dolomite with approximately 70 mol% CaFe(CO3)2 at room pressure and at 1.90, 2.97, and 4.0 GPa. The principal structural change with increasing pressure is compression of the CaO6 and (Mg,Fe)O6 octahedra. In addition to displaying similar axial compressibilities, dolomite and ankerite display similar bond compressibilities and bulk moduli. No phase change was observed in either compound throughout the pressure range studied. -from Authors
