Extract

The isotopic composition of fossil invertebrates contains a wealth of information about the physical and chemical environments of the ancient past. The exploitation of this biogeochemical archive by paleontologists began about 50 years ago with the realization that the ratios of oxygen isotopes in the shells and skeletons of marine organisms offered the potential to accurately reconstruct paleoenvironmental conditions, particularly temperature (Urey, 1947; Urey et al., 1951). With the introduction of the oxygen isotope paleotemperature methodology (Epstein et al., 1951, 1953; Epstein and Lowenstam, 1953), the field of “isotope paleontology” was born (Wefer and Berger, 1991).
