The Significance of the long lived (>400 Years) bivalve Arctica islandica as a high-resolution bioarchive
Information about past environmental conditions is preserved in the elemental signature of biogenic marine carbonates. Thus, trace element to calcium ratios (Me/Ca) of biogenic calcium carbonates, such as bivalve shells, are often used to reconstruct past environmental conditions at the time of carb...
