Fig. 3: Lithium isotope composition of various types of carbonates.
From: Lithium isotopes trace silicate weathering-driven authigenic carbonate formation in marine sediments
Box plots show the maximum value, minimum value, median value and interquartile range for the data of authigenic carbonate (carbonate phase; Miyajima et al., 2023), bioclastic carbonate (Rollion-Bard et al., 2009; Misra & Froelich, 2012; Dellinger et al., 2018; Roberts et al., 2018) and platform carbonates (Dellinger et al., 2020; Murphy et al., 2022; Liu et al., 2023). Redrawn from Pogge von Strandmann et al. (2021). Fora.—Foraminifera, carb.—carbonate. Seep carbonate results from sulphate-driven AOM. Estimated lithium isotope compositions of aragonite to calcite represent estimated compositions, reflecting isotopic equilibrium with seawater.
