The outcrop panorama serves as a basemap to integrate structural, microstructural and geochemical investigations in a Geographic Information System. The outcrop provides insight to the evolution of a high-density calcite vein network in Limestone. The network as it appears in the outcrop has never been a network of interconnected open fractures, but it evolved dynamically. Subvertical dilatant veins with variable strike directions show mutual age relationships, indicating a uniaxial horizontal extension under close to lithostatic fluid pressure conditions. The high vein density and lacking abutting of veins suggest a quick restoration of bulk strength by fracture healing. Large vein apertures are realized by both vein stacking and a multitude of crack-seal cycles, as indicated by hostrock inclusions. The episodic growth of veins, which is accompanied by episodic fluid flow, is also suggested by large isotope variations across single veins. Existing veins act as anisotropies depending on orientation and their sealing driven strength regeneration. They significantly influence the formation of new fractures and largely control the geometry of the vein network. Stable isotope measurements imply alteration of the host rock by external fluids prior to the formation of the vein network. The majority of the veins show a rock-buffered isotopic signature. Low d13C values in some veins suggest an influx of oxidized light hydrocarbons. The fluid system was unlocked by E-W striking normal faults, which is preserved in fault related veins by increased d18O values.}, keywords = {Omangebirge (SWD) / Oman (SWD) / Spannung <Geologie> (SWD) / Endogene Dynamik (SWD) / Ader <Geologie> (SWD) / Oberkreide (SWD) / Kalkstein (SWD)}, cin = {530000 / 531220 / 541220}, ddc = {550}, cid = {$I:(DE-82)530000_20140620$ / $I:(DE-82)531220_20140620$ / $I:(DE-82)541220_20140620$}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)10}, urn = {urn:nbn:de:hbz:82-opus-33858}, doi = {10.18154/RWTH-CONV-144905}, url = {https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/230247}, }
