Geothermal Fluid Variation Recorded by Banded Ca-Carbonate Veins in a Fault-Related, Fissure Ridge-Type Travertine Depositional System (Iano, southern Tuscany, Italy) by Paola Francesca Matera, Gennaro Ventruti, Martina Zucchi, Andrea Brogi, Enrico Capezzuoli, Domenico Liotta, Tsai-Luen Yu, Chuan-Chou Shen, Katharine W. Huntington, László Rinyu, Sándor Kele
