“…These animals indeed grow their carbonate shells in an incremental fashion, simultaneously recording biological and environmental data (Fortunato, 2015;Steinhardt et al, 2016;Butler et al, 2019), which can be tracked through a multitude of proxies, including morphology, isotopes (e.g., ∂ 18 O shell , ∂ 13 C shell ), trace elements and metal composition (e.g., Ba, Cd, Cu, Mo, Pb, U, Zn). The rich fossil record of mollusk shells, thus, provides an equally rich environmental archive of seawater paleo-temperature and salinity (Surge et al, 2003;Chauvaud et al, 2005;Hiebenthal et al, 2012;Vokhshoori and McCarthy, 2014;Reynolds et al, 2016;Black et al, 2017), pollution levels (Vander Putten et al, 2000;Liehr et al, 2005;Pérez-Mayol et al, 2014), stress (Hiebenthal et al, 2012;Trivellini et al, 2018), infection history (Paillard et al, 2004;Trinkler et al, 2010), as well as food availability and primary productivity (Lartaud et al, 2010;Sadler et al, 2012).…”
