Stable oxygen and carbon isotope compositional fields for skeletal and diagenetic components in New Zealand Cenozoic nontropical carbonate sediments and limestones: A synthesis and review
Open accessAbstract
The stable oxygen isotope composition (δ 18 O) of a precipitated carbonate depends mainly on the isotope composition, salinity, and temperature of the host fluid, whereas the stable carbon isotope composition (δ 13 C) reflects the source of CO 2 for precipitation, such as meteoric or sea water, shell dissolution, or various biochemical origins, including microbial oxidation of organic matter and methane. Despite the potentially complex array of controls, natural waters tend to show a characteristic range of isotope values which in turn are mimicked or tracked by the carbonate minerals precipitated from them. Consequently, plots of δ 18 O versus δ 13 C for carbonate materials can help identify their depositional and/or diagenetic environment(s). Here we compile isotope results for about 800 samples of carbonate skeletons, bulk sediments, fossils, limestones, cements, concretions, and veins spanning a range of ages (latest Cretaceous to modern) and locations in temperate‐region New Zealand. Despite some overlap, the isotope values for 21 defined categories of carbonate materials tend to group in discrete regions of the δ 18 O‐δ 13 C diagram, thereby providing important insights about their origin. New Zealand modern skeletal shelf carbonates plot in a distinctly different field from their tropical counterparts because of their heavier δ 18 O and narrower range of δ 13 C values, in accord with their nontropical bryomol skeletal facies. Cements in New Zealand temperate limestones are predominantly of burial or, more rarely, meteoric origin, but their nontropical heritage based solely on isotope composition becomes blurred and eventually lost as diagenesis proceeds. In common with many other global examples, siderite, calcite, and dolomite concretions have developed during shallow burial in a range of freshwater to marine depositional settings, the carbon originating mainly from early diagenetic, bacterially mediated reactions involving the decomposition of organic matter in bottom sediments. A summary δ 18 O‐δ 13 C diagram showing mean and standard‐deviation isotope values for the various New Zealand carbonate categories will form a basis for comparing and interpreting other carbonate materials and deposits.

In the citing paper
“In the Cretaceous samples, for example, progressively depleted δ 18 O values are observed with increasing depth (Figure 5B, Area 1 towards Area 2), an observation consistent with diagenesis during progressive burial [100-102].”

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.
