Abstract: [Paper reviews the formation of gypsum as a result of the interaction of calcium carbonate and sulfuric acid, a process that can occur in lichen thalli when CaCO3-containing particles, entrapped in lichen thalli, react with SO4-2. "The catalytic capacity of lichens is evident in the process of neoformation of gypsum on lithic substrates, e.g. granite."]
