A model of granular materials partially cemented by bacterial calcite

Nature aggregates granular materials such as sand, silt and clay into form beach rocks, anthills and other forms of microbialites. A common bio-geo-chemical cementation occurs due to the mineralization of calcium through bacterial enzymatic action, often called Microbial Induced Calcium Carbonate Pr...
