Mollusk shells contain many isotopic clues about calcification physiology and environmental
conditions at the time of shell formation. In this review, we use both published and …

Sclerochronological analysis of shell midden faunal remains offers a unique opportunity to
study climate and environmental change in relation to human activity. Middens exist near …

Abstract The non-marine Santanghu Basin in northwest China hosts one of the richest and
thickest Permian lacustrine source rock intervals in the world. Conventional oil in Jurassic …

The stable oxygen and clumped isotope composition of brachiopod calcite are important
proxies for the reconstruction of Phanerozoic seawater temperatures and δ 18 O values. The …

High-resolution environmental proxy data from the extratropical North Atlantic prior to the
instrumental era are of critical importance to decipher processes and mechanisms of global …

Stable isotopes have been extensively used to trace element cycles and their incorporation
into food webs. This chapter provides a brief introduction to the principles of using stable …

This study investigates the environmental and biological controls on trace element
partitioning and stable isotope composition of modern giant long-lived bivalves (Tridacna …

The Zavkhan terrane in western Mongolia preserves thick, fossiliferous, carbonate-rich strata
that span the Ediacaran-Cambrian transition. Measured stratigraphic sections and …

Mangroves are traditionally considered to provide important nutrition to tropical estuarine
consumers. However, there is still controversy about this, and the extent and importance of …

It is well known that the incorporation of isotopically light metabolic carbon (CM) significantly
affects the stable carbon isotope (δ13C) signal recorded in biogenic carbonates. This can …
