Temperature-induced microstructural changes in shells of laboratory-grown Arctica islandica (Bivalvia).

Bivalve shells are increasingly used as archives for high-resolution paleoclimate analyses. However, there is still an urgent need for quantitative temperature proxies that work without knowledge of the water chemistry-as is required for δ18O-based paleothermometry-and can better withstand diageneti...
