Over million-year timescales, the geologic cycling of carbon
controls long-term climate and the oxidation of Earth's surface.
Inferences about the carbon cycle can be made from time series of
carbon isotopic ratios measured from sedimentary rocks. The
foundational assumption for carbon isotope chemostratigraphy is
that carbon isotope values reflect dissolved inorganic carbon in a
well-mixed ocean in equilibrium with the atmosphere. However, when
applied to shallow-water platform environments, where most ancient
carbonates preserved in the geological record formed, recent
research has documented the importance of considering both local
variability in surface water chemistry and diagenesis. These
findings demonstrate that carbon isotope chemostratigraphy of
platform carbonate rarely represent the average carbonate sink or
directly records changes in the composition of global seawater.
Understanding what causes local variability in shallow-water
settings, and what this variability might reveal about global
boundary conditions, are vital questions for the next generation of
carbon isotope chemostratigraphers.
