TL;DR: In this article, stable oxygen and carbon isotopic profiles from Recent specimens of Spisula solidissima and Placopecten magellanicus collected off the Virginia coast are used to calibrate annual temperature-controlled cycles in the δ18O profile and shell growth characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Annual cycle of shell growth increment formation in two continental shelf bivalves and its paleoecologic significance
TL;DR: The bivalves Spisula solidissima and Arctica islandica, from the continental shelf off New Jersey, contain repeating structures in their shells that were analyzed to determine age and growth rate in both Recent and Pleistocene specimens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marking time with bivalve shells; oxygen isotopes and season of annual increment formation
TL;DR: High-resolution isotopic sampling is invaluable when interpreting shell records in sclerochronological contexts, particularly for fossil bivalves.
