Data for: "The origin of non-skeletal carbonate mud and implications for global climate"

Carbonate mud represents one of the most important geochemical archives
for reconstructing ancient climatic, environmental, and evolutionary
change from the rock record. Mud also represents a major sink in the
global carbon cycle. Yet, there remains no consensus about how and where
carbonate mud is formed. In this contribution, we present new geochemical
data that bear on this problem, including stable isotope and minor and
trace element data from carbonate sources in the modern Bahamas such as
ooids, corals, foraminifera, and green algae.
