Study on the morphology of the initial fracture surface of carbonate rocks based on mineral content analysis

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate the relationship between mineral content and the morphology of initial fracture surfaces in carbonate rocks.
• Analyzed the mineral content of carbonate rocks.
• Examined the morphology of fracture surfaces using imaging techniques.
• Compared different mineral compositions to assess their effects on fracture characteristics.
• Identified specific mineral types that influence fracture morphology.
• Revealed distinct patterns of fracture surfaces corresponding to varying mineral content.
• Proposed a link between mineral composition and fracture strength in carbonate rocks.
