Complex Biomineralization Pathways of the Belemnite Rostrum Cause Biased Paleotemperature Estimates

Complex Biomineralization Pathways of the Belemnite Rostrum Cause Biased Paleotemperature Estimates

Paleotemperatures based on δ<sup>18</sup>O values derived from belemnites are usually “too cold” compared to other archives and paleoclimate models. This temperature bias represents a significant obstacle in paleoceanographic research. Here we show geochemical evidence that belemnite cal...
