Most natural-forming calcites precipitate at isotopic equilibrium
Keyword(s):
Abstract Based on thermodynamic equilibrium isotope fractionation theory, this letter reasonably understands the clumping 13C-18O (Δ47 ), as well as carbon and oxygen isotope fractionation in calcites with extremely slow-growing rates from Devils Hole and Laghetto Basso (Corchia Cave) at atomic level with solid physical precipitation models and quantum-mechanical backgrounds. It is found that most calcites in nature precipitate in at equilibrium.
