The calcareous nannofossil <i>Prinsiosphaera</i> achieved rock-forming abundances in the latest Triassic of western Tethys: consequences for the <i>δ</i><sup>13</sup>C of bulk carbonate
The onset of pelagic biomineralization was a milestone in the history of the long-term inorganic carbon cycle: as soon as calcareous nannofossils became major limestone producers, the pH and supersaturation state of the global ocean were stabilized (the so-called mid-Mesozoic revolution). But althou...
