As announced a few days ago, our latest -short- paper on Argentinian is in press at . [http://paleopolis.rediris.es/cg/en-index.html]. It should be available online on January 20 (2024). Abstract: "Asymmetric ooids are documented in a brackish Maastrichtian to Danian paleolake in NW . Their distinctive asymmetric growth pattern is likely related to an uneven distribution of the Extracellular Polymeric Substances ( ) around the coated , within which calcite fibers (i.e., the ' ') have grown. This pattern is unlikely to be mistaken for that of other 'eccentric' ooids, such as wobbly ooids, spiny ooids, hiatus ooids, half-moon ooids, 'broken' ooids sensu lato, or collapsed (referred to as 'distorted' ooids)."
