TL;DR: In this article, the relative dominance of different burial diagenesis processes within specific depth intervals is given by the isotopic composition of incorporated oxygen which is temperature dependent (1) 0 to −2‰, (2) −1.5 to −5'

TL;DR: In the Tyne River Basin, a detailed mineralogical analysis of contemporary overbank river sediment, mining-age alluvium, and mine-waste tips and suspended solids in river waters has defined a general weathering reaction paragenesis of Pb-, Zn-, Cd-, and Cu-bearing minerals: sulfides → carbonate, silicate, phosphate, sulfate weathering products → iron and manganese oxyhydroxides.

TL;DR: This paper showed a link between sedimentation (related to changes in relative sea level) and diagenesis, leading to the potential for the development of process-based, predictive models of early diagenetic in depositional successions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined the abundance and isotopic composition of pyrite, monosulphide, elemental sulphur, organically bound sulphur and dissolved sulphide; the partition of ferric and ferrous iron; and the organic carbon contents of sediments recovered at two sites during Leg 112 of the Ocean Drilling Program.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present evidence for chemical remobilization of these metals within overbank sediments in the Tyne basin, UK and show that fine, centimetre-scale, chemostratigraphy using metal concentrations and ratios is unlikely to provide reliable data in river systems that have experienced, or are experiencing, major changes in water-table levels, or pedogenesis.
