 Marine Historical Ecology/Conservation Paleobiology:
Biological, physical, and chemical factors that control the
preservation (taphonomy) of calcium carbonate skeletons
(e.g. shells): These are our primary source of paleobiological information and the primary way carbon is
transferred from the atmosphere-ocean to the earth’s
crust in the carbon cycle.
