Isotopic composition of calcrete deposits from Europe, Africa and India
Abstract
The four models postulated for the formation of calcrete layers all involve the three-stage process: provision of a carbonate-rich solution, the movement of that solution and the precipitation of solid carbonate. The last step originates from either or both of two main alternatives: loss of CO2 out of the solution increasing the pH and consequently the CO concentration, or evaporation of the water effecting an increase in the ionic concentration. This paper presents theoretical calculations for the isotopic composition of the carbonate resulting from these two alternative processes. The isotopic composition of calcrete deposits from France, Spain, Italy, Libya, Cyprus, Kenya, Morocco, South Africa and India are compared with the theoretical models. The calcrete samples from Spain, Cyprus and India are probably the result of evaporation processes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
