Database of global glendonite and ikaite records throughout the Phanerozoic

Here database of Phanerozoic occurrences and isotopic characteristics of metastable cold-water calcium carbonate hexahydrate (ikaite; CaCO3•6H2O) and its pseudomorphs (glendonites) is represented. The previous version of this database included 753 records ranged from Cambrian to recent, based on 376 references, the authors’ data and additional personal communications from the colleagues. The updated database includes 939 localities based on 476 references. Database is provided as Excel2003 (.xls)- file, which consists from 6 sheets. The major sheet ‘Glendonites and latitudes’ includes a list of localities along with latitude / longitude, geologic age (in Ma and substage), palaeolatitude, references, environments and host rock for all records. Items from the previous version of this database, which were corrected in terms of age / coordinates / references are highlighted by yellow. Three sheets, entitled “Cenozoic glendonite and ikaite”, “Mesozoic glendonite” and “Paleozoic glendonite” includes data concerning carbon and oxygen stable isotope values of, respectively, Cenozoic, Mesozoic and Paleozoic samples. The sheet “References” contains list of references in APA style, accompanied by DOI numbers and hyperlinks to electronic versions (if available). The last sheet contains a list of updates compared with the previous version of this database. This database is a part of the paper published in ESSD [https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-13-343-2021] and another article published in Earth-Science Reviews [https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2023.104430]
