The carbonate factories model, as defined at the beginning of the century, provides a
subdivision of marine carbonate sediment production‐systems based on the style of …

We have compiled stratigraphic ranges of genera of calcareous nannofossils, calcispheres,
planktonic foraminifers, larger benthic foraminifers, corals and rudists bivalves, and species …

Abstract During the Aptian (Cretaceous), in what is now the South Atlantic, the largest
chemogenic (abiotic) carbonate factory so far identified in the Phanerozoic geological record …

The Ordovician global cooling trend observed by several temperature proxies, which
coincides with one of the most significant evolutionary diversifications on Earth, is yet to be …

It remains unclear whether waning of the volcanic degassing CO2 source or enhancement
of the mafic (Ca, Mg-silicate) weathering CO2 sink, or both, caused global cooling leading to …

Carbonate lacustrine strata in nonmarine systems hold great potential for refining
depositional ages through U-Pb dating of detrital zircons. The low clastic sediment flux in …

This pilot study is founded on an exhaustive investigation of representative and well-
documented cases (120) of carbonate systems during the Phanerozoic. We investigated the …

Designing carbonate facies models requires the integration, correlation and conceptual
interpretation of multiple geological data sets. Potential significant errors are sourced from …

Abstract During the Cretaceous, the Berriasian–Aptian interval witnessed a transition from a
relatively cool climate with intermittent polar ice to a greenhouse state that persisted …

Carbonate systems are influenced by a great variety of physical and biological controlling
factors that operate from global to local scales. The resulting intrinsic complexity of …
