Lorens R.B. (1978) A study of biological and physical controls of the trace metal content of calcite and aragonite. Ph.D. Dissertation, Univ. of Rhode Island. [Pg.645]

Oceanic surface water is everywhere supersaturated with respect to the two solid calcium carbonate species calcite and aragonite. Nevertheless, calcium precipitation is exclusively controlled by biological processes, specifically the formation of hard parts (shells, skeletal parts, etc.). The very few existing amounts of spontaneous inorganic precipitation of CaC03(s) come from the Bahamas region of the Caribbean. [Pg.103]
