Trace element analysis (Mg, Sr, Na, K, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cr, and Zn) of CYAMAZ carbonates shows that a geochemical characterization of platform and post-platform sediments is possible. Platform sediments geochemical study leads to precise the paleoenvironment and shows that late oceanic diagenesis (which take place after subsidence of the platform) does not alter trace element contents of rocks. An attempt of geochemical dating (chemostratigraphy) of post-platform sediments is made. |

We present a cathodoluminescence (CL) study of growth layer deposition in the shell of the oyster Crassostrea gigas. CL is based on the physical properties of lattice-bound manganese (Mn2+), which is the main activator in calcium carbonate. Our study involved chemical marking by immersing individuals in seawater to which manganese chloride had been added, and subsequent reading of the shell with CL microscopy coupled with numeric treatment of microphotographs; CL emission was analyzed using a scanning electron microscope coupled to a spectrometer. Since the marking did not harm the oysters, repeated markings were possible, allowing validation of the inferences made from analysis of the shell rings. Oysters reared in a French Mediterranean lagoon (Thau... |
