Bulk sedimentary organic carbon isotope chemostratigraphy of the Escucha Formation, Santa Maria Mine, Spain

Carbon isotope chemostratigraphy may be useful in making correlations of continental strata to marine strata, especially as a result of carbon cycle perturbations. This study provides carbon isotope data from an important vertebrate fossil site at the Santa Maria Mine Arino, Spain. The deposit is an important coal mine that includes a range of lithologies interpreted to be deposited in a coastal environment.

碳同位素化学地层学（Carbon isotope chemostratigraphy）或可用于陆相地层与海相地层的对比研究，尤其适用于碳循环扰动引发的场景。本研究提供了产自西班牙圣玛丽亚阿里诺矿（Santa Maria Mine Arino）一处重要脊椎动物化石点的碳同位素数据。该矿床为一处重要煤矿，其赋存的多种岩性被认为形成于海岸沉积环境。
