Oxygen isotope variability in conodonts: implications for reconstructing Palaeozoic palaeoclimates and palaeoceanography
Conodonts have the potential to elucidate the intricacies of Palaeozoic climates, especially if δ 18O values of single apatitic tooth-like 'elements' can be used to map evolving sea surface temperatures and differentiate oceanic water masses. Their ecological distribution as pelagic and ne...
