Hello Zicheng

Part of my MSc thesis was going to be on what you are doing. I'll try to
dig up a few references for you.

You may want to check your samples carefully for diagenetic alterations
that may contaminate your d13C and d18O values. I saw some preliminary
alterations to my shells (dissolution and "suspect" recrystallization)
which made me think that this could be a bigger topic than I orginally
thought it would be (therefore, I gave up on it). Take care for now.
