Early diagenesis of foraminiferal calcite under anoxic conditions : A case study from the Landsort Deep, Baltic Sea (IODP Site M0063)
The chemical composition of foraminiferal calcite is widely used for studying past environmental conditions and biogeochemistry. However, high rates of microbial organic matter degradation and abundant dissolved metal sources in sediments and pore waters may impede the application of foraminifera-based proxies due to formation of secondary carbonates or other authigenic minerals on and/or inside o
