Abstract
Marine calcium carbonate (CaCO3) polymorphs, as calcite and aragonite (e.g., foraminifera and corals), have an important role in reconstructions of past climate and past ocean circulation, in particular when stable isotopes (e.g., O, C, B) and trace elements (e.g., Li, B, Mg, Sr) are analyzed.
