“…A smaller body of work has investigated the dissolution kinetics of biogenic CaCO 3 minerals. The majority of these studies have focused on the dissolution kinetics of bulk CaCO 3 sediments, often with the aim of constraining reactions involved in the evolution of sedimentary porewater, early-to-late stage sedimentary diagenesis, lithification, and sedimentary buffering of the seawater carbonate system (Andersson et al, 2007;Andersson et al, 2009;Archer et al, 1989;Balzer and Wefer, 1981;Berger, 1967;Dreybrodt, 1985a, 1985b;Burdige et al, 2008Burdige et al, , 2010Burdige and Zimmerman, 2002;Boucher et al, 1998;Friedman, 1964;Gehlen et al, 2005aGehlen et al, , 2005bHales and Emerson, 1996;Hales et al, 1994;Honjo and Erez, 1978;Jahnke and Jahnke, 2004;Kinsey, 1985;Langdon et al, 2000;Leclercq et al, 2002;Milliman, 1978;Morse, 1978;Morse et al, 2006;Peterson, 1966;Pickett and Andersson, 2015;Rude and Aller, 1991;Silverman et al, 2007aSilverman et al, , 2007bSchmalz, 1965;Tynan and Opdyke, 2011;Walter et al, 1993;Walter and Burton, 1990;Yates and Halley, 2006). These studies generally investigate bulk mixtures of biogenic CaCO 3 minerals that, in some cases, have been substantially altered 196 themselves through neomorphism, diagenetic conversion, laboratory cleaning, and/or natural loss of organic impurities and protective organic layers.…”
