Carbonate “clumped” isotope signatures in aragonitic scleractinian and calcitic gorgonian deep-sea corals
Deep-sea corals are a potentially valuable archive of the temperature and ocean chemistry of intermediate and deep waters. Living in near-constant temperature, salinity, and pH and having amongst the slowest calcification rates observed in carbonate-precipitating biological organisms, deep-sea coral...
