Calcite-aragonite seas as a driver of echinoderm evolution? Experimental insight and deep-time decoupling

Selina R. Cole,

Abstract: Seawater magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) have undergone secular fluctuations throughout the Phanerozoic, controlling whether the dominant calcium carbonate precipitant is calcite or aragonite + high-Mg calcite. Although these oscillations in seawater Mg/Ca ratios have been implicated as an important control on Phanerozoic diversification of calcifying marine organisms, determining the degree to which Mg/Ca ratios affected different clades requires integration of experimental data with historical patterns of bi… Show more
