Protodolomite was detected in sediments from Great Salt Lake (GSL), Utah, United States, Glider that have no history of elevated temperature or pressure, conditions that are thought to promote dolomitization of sedimentary carbonates.Protodolomite was abundant in a non-oolitic sediment core from the South Arm (SA) of GSL at < 17% salinity but wa
