Carbonate sediments and rocks are valuable archives of Earth's past whose geochemical
compositions inform our understanding of Earth's surface evolution. Yet carbonates are also …

Upper Cretaceous carbonate rocks of the Sarvak Formation are among the most important
hydrocarbon reservoirs of the Middle East. This paper summarizes the depositional history …

Shallow-water carbonate sediments constitute one of the most abundant and widely used
archives of Earth's surface evolution. One of the main limitations of this archive is the …

The 18O/16O of calcite fossils increased by∼ 8‰ between the Cambrian and present. It has
long been controversial whether this change reflects evolution in the δ18O of seawater, or a …

A review of short-term (< 3 myr: c. 100 kyr to 2.4 myr) Cretaceous sea-level fluctuations of
several tens of metres indicates recent fundamental progress in understanding the …

This study addresses the timing implications of chemical stratigraphy and
chronostratigraphic correlation of unconformity-related shallow water (neritic) carbonate rock …

We present a suite of major element stable isotope (δ 13 C, δ 18 O, δ 44/40 Ca, δ 26 Mg),
and selected trace element (Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca) data from Pleistocene sediments from the …

Stable carbon isotope ratios (δ13C values) of marine carbonates are widely used to infer the
relative burial rates of organic carbon, a source of oxygen to the ocean‐atmosphere system …

Abstract The Ediacaran Shuram excursion marks one of the largest carbon isotope
excursions in Earth's history, but its origin remains enigmatic. In this study, we examine a …

Abstract A Neo-Tethyan upper Cenomanian–Santonian neritic carbonate ramp succession
(Sarvak and Ilam formations), drilled in the Zagros Basin in southwest Iran, was investigated …
