Mg/Ca Ratios in Synthetic Low-Magnesium Calcite: An Experimental Investigation

Mg/Ca Ratios in Synthetic Low-Magnesium Calcite: An Experimental Investigation

The work presented sought to determine the effects of Mg/Ca ratios in solution have on Mg partitioning (K<sup>Mg</sup>) between precipitated abiotic low-Mg calcite and solution. Experiments were set up so that Mg/Ca in precipitated abiotic calcite would match the Mg/Ca in planktonic fora...
