Use of Clumped-isotope Thermometry to Constrain the Crystallization Temperature of Diagenetic Calcite

We describe an approach to estimating the crystallization temperatures of diagenetic calcites using clumped-isotope thermometry, a paleothermometer based on the C–O-bond enrichment in carbonates. Application of this thermometer to calcified gastropod shells and calcite cements in an early Eocene limestone from the Colorado Plateau reveals a record of calcite precipitation and replacement at tem...

A Review and Synthesis of Glendonites (pseudomorphs after Ikaite) with New Data: Assessing Applicability as Recorders of Ancient Coldwater Conditions

Calcite pseudomorphs after ikaite (glendonite) are associated with coldwater depositional systems, including glaciomarine and deepwater settings, as dictated by the limited stability field of ikaite. Ikaite precipitation is favored by elevated alkalinity and dissolved phosphate, conditions encountered commonly in association with organic-rich marine sediments where methane oxidation is occurrin...
