The incorporation of a number of readily measured trace elements into otoliths is considered
to be under some sort of physiological control, but rarely are explicit mechanisms proposed …

Results of clumped isotope, oxygen isotope and elemental (Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca) analyses of
exceptionally well-preserved belemnite rostra and ammonite shells from the uppermost …

The biogenic carbonate hard parts of fossil bivalves, cephalopods and brachiopods are
among the most widely exploited marine archives of Phanerozoic environmental and climate …

The secular increase in δ 18 O values of both calcitic and phosphatic marine fossils through
early Phanerozoic time suggests either that (1) early Paleozoic surface temperatures were …

During the Mississippian period, metazoan reefs and other marine faunas gradually
recovered from the Late Devonian mass extinctions and reached a peak in the late Visean …

Fossil brachiopod shells are often used as valuable archives to reconstruct
paleoenvironmental conditions in deep time. However, biomineralization processes can …

Abstract The Late Ordovician is a paradox, with a greenhouse climate shifting to an
icehouse climate during a time of presumably high CO2 levels. We used clumped isotope …

This study presents the carbon, oxygen, and magnesium isotope compositions of two
modern brachiopods, Terebratalia transversa and Frieleia halli, and one fossil specimen …

Fossil brachiopods are of major importance for the reconstruction of palaeoenvironmental
conditions, particularly of the Paleozoic. In order to better understand signals of ancient shell …

Most of our knowledge of past seawater temperature history is based on δ 18 O values of
calcium carbonate fossil shells. However, the determination of past temperatures using this …
