Calcium Isotopes

Calcium isotopes can be used as a geochemical tracer to quantify rates of carbonate diagenesis in marine sedimentary systems.

List of contents

1. Calcium isotopes as a geochemical tracer of carbonate (bio)mineralization, deposition, and diagenesis; 2. Reconstructing the marine Ca cycle in the geologic past; 3. Materials and methods; 4. Case study ¿ end-Permian mass extinction; 5. Future prospects; 6. Key papers.

Summary

Precise measurements of the calcium (Ca) isotopes have provided constraints on Ca cycling at global and local scales, and quantified rates of carbonate diagenesis in marine sedimentary systems. Key to applying Ca isotopes as a geochemical tracer is understanding the impact of multiple factors potentially impacting Ca isotopes in the rock record.
