The use of external micro-PIXE to investigate the factors determining the Sr : Ca ratio in the shells of fossil aragonitic molluscs
The ratio of strontium to calcium in the shells of fossil marine molluscs has been proposed as an indicator of seawater temperature in past epochs, since this is less affected by other environmental conditions (such as variation of salinity) than the more conventional seawater palaeotemperature prox...
