Rapid isotopic exchange in mineralogically unaltered coral skeletons

Anders Meibom, Arthur Adams, Deyanira Graciela Cisneros Lazaro

Fossil coral skeletons that retain their original aragonitic mineralogy are generally considered diagenetically unaltered and reliable paleoenvironmental archives. We investigated whether oxygen isotope exchange can occur between these skeletons and ambien ...

Fossil biocalcite remains open to isotopic exchange with seawater for tens of millions of years

Cristina Martin Olmos, Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Arthur Adams, Deyanira Graciela Cisneros Lazaro

Fossilized remains of marine calcifiers constitute the physical basis for reconstructions of both deep ocean and sea-surface temperatures going back millions of years, but paleoclimate records derived from their isotope and trace-element chemistry can be b ...

Oxygen isotope fractionation during amorphous to crystalline calcium carbonate transformation at varying relative humidity and temperature

Anders Meibom, Arthur Adams

Crystalline calcium carbonate isotope compositions have been widely used to reconstruct past environments. However, if their isotopic compositions are modified because of crystallization from an amorphous precursor, their reliability as paleo-geochemical p ...

Rapid grain boundary diffusion in foraminifera tests biases paleotemperature records

Lukas Baumgartner, Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Arthur Adams, Deyanira Graciela Cisneros Lazaro, Jinming Guo

The paleoseawater temperature record from the oxygen isotope compositions of fossil foraminifera tests may be biased by up to about 1 degrees C due to grain-boundary diffusion alone, according to isotope exchange experiments on foraminifera tests. The oxyg ...

Fast and pervasive diagenetic isotope exchange in foraminifera tests is species-dependent

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Arthur Adams, Deyanira Graciela Cisneros Lazaro, Jinming Guo

Oxygen isotope compositions of fossil foraminifera tests are commonly used proxies for ocean paleotemperatures, with reconstructions spanning the last 112 million years. However, the isotopic composition of these calcitic tests can be substantially altered ...

Photic stress on coral reefs in the Maldives: The Amphistegina bleaching index

Aurélie Angéloz, Anaël Lehmann, Arthur Adams

The Amphistegina Bleaching Index (ABI) was applied to three Maldivian reefs in the Rasdhoo and North Ari Atolls in 2018, during normal sea surface temperature conditions. This dataset was then compared with a 2015, pre-coral bleaching study. The results pr ...

A Reassessment of of the geochemical and isotopic fidelity of biogenic carbonates

Tarek Axel Vennemann, Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Arthur Adams, Deyanira Graciela Cisneros Lazaro, Jinming Guo

Oxygen isotope compositions of calcite foraminifera tests are considered to be a robust palaeotemperature proxy at earth-surface conditions, where diffusion is slow. Recrystallization of tests during diagenesis may be optically identified and is often the ...
