Aspects of the Biogeochemistry of Magnesium 1. Calcareous Marine Organisms
Abstract
A study was made of the factors controlling the distribution of magnesium in the calcareous skeletons of marine organisms. The mineralogy of the carbonate appears to be the most important influence, with large amounts of magnesium occurring in solid solution in the calcitic forms and generally lesser amounts in the aragonitic forms. The complexity of the organisms and the temperature of the water in which they lived are also controlling factors in the amount of magnesium present. A large part of the study, both mineralogical and chemical, was made with X-ray diffraction techniques.

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.
