“…Of the previous studies of oyster δ 18 O shell , the majority use the Epstein et al (1953) equation (Hong et al, 1995;Kirby et al, 1998;Harding et al, 2010), or a variation upon this equation developed by Anderson and Arthur (1983) (Brigaud et al, 2008;Lartaud et al, 2010;Titschack et al, 2010). Other authors use equations derived from equilibrium experiments of synthetic carbonates conducted by Tarutani et al (1969) (e.g.…”

“…Similarly, the American oyster, Crassostrea virginica has been shown to precipitate its shell in isotopic equilibrium with ambient seawater (Kirby et al, 1998;Surge et al, 2001;Lecuyer et al, 2004), although it also is subject to "heat shock", whereby these oysters cease shell precipitation during the height of summer (Kirby et al, 1998). Titschack et al (2010) studied the giant oyster Hyotissa hyotis, which is found in coral reef environments, and concluded that although its δ 18 O shell reflects sea surface temperature, it specifically reflects to the oyster's immediate environment, which can differ from that of the open ocean.…”

“…Oyster shells are often used for palaeoclimatic reconstructions (Kirby et al 1998;Harzhauser et al 2010;Lartaud et al 2010b;Titschack et al 2010). However, unlike the gastropods used in this study, oysters are able to tolerate variations in salinity, which can introduce uncertainty when their isotopic compositions are converted into palaeotemperatures.…”

The constraint of temperature evolution in coastal environments is an important factor in deciphering the Earth's global climatic history. In this study, we reconstruct the evolution of sea-surface palaeotemperatures from the oxygen stable isotope compositions in four marine molluscs families in the Paris Basin during the Palaeogene. The combination of several taxa living in different environments is used to limit uncertainties related to the influence of salinity variations on palaeotemperature estimations. One family of bivalves (oysters) and three families of gastropods (Volutidae, Cerithiidae and Turritellidae) were sampled in the French part of the Paris Basin, in Belgium and in the Isle of Wight (southern England). Maximum seawater temperatures were observed during the Early Eocene (c. 30°C), which correspond to the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum, and temperatures then decreased until the Lutetian (c. 20°C). A transient warming, identified as the Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum, occurred during the Bartonian, when temperatures reached 32°C. Temperatures decreased through the Eocene-Oligocene boundary, the coolest interval of the Palaeogene (c. 12°C). A final warming period occurred throughout the Early Oligocene, with temperatures reaching 24°C. The fossils analysed thus record the global climatic intervals of the Palaeogene.

“…Oysters exceeding a shell height of 130 cm and a valve thickness of up to 10 cm are known from shallow-water marine settings in many locations from the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) onward (Stephenson 1952;Sohl and Kauffman 1964;Chinzei 1986Chinzei , 2013Kirby 2001;Titschack et al 2010).…”

The oyster enigma variations: a hypothesis of microbial calcification

Oysters, whose inner shell layer contains chambers, vesicles, and sometimes chalky deposits, often have extraordinarily thick shells of large size, prompting the idea that there is something unusual about the process of shell fPormation in these and similarly structured bivalves with the oyster syndrome. I propose the hypothesis that calcifying microbes, especially sulfate-reducing bacteria growing on organic substrates in fluid-filled shell-wall chambers, are responsible for shell calcification away from the shell-secreting mantle of the host bivalve. Other phenomena, including the formation of cameral deposits in fossil cephalopods, the cementation of molluscs and barnacles to hard substrata, the formation of a calcified intriticalx on the shell's exterior, and cementation of objects by gastropods on the shell for camouflage, may also involve calcifying bacteria. Several lines of inquiry are suggested to test these hypotheses.
