Abstract
Calcite pseudomorphs after ikaite (glendonite) are common in the Permian marine sequences of the Sydney Basin and have been recorded from more than 30 localities representing six major glenonite-forming intervals. Recognition of glenonites in Sydney Basin strata provides unequivocal evidence for coldwater deposition.
