Technical Note: Silica stable isotopes and silicification in a carnivorous sponge <i>Asbestopluma</i> sp.
The stable isotope composition of benthic sponge spicule silica is a potential source of palaeoceanographic information about past deep seawater chemistry. The silicon isotope composition of spicules has been shown to relate to the silicic acid concentration of ambient water, although existing c...
