“…Most stratigraphic studies of Cretaceous carbon isotopes have focussed on δ 13 C time series obtained from marine bulk pelagic or hemipelagic carbonates (Scholle & Arthur, ; Jenkyns et al ., ; Weissert et al ., , ; Herrle et al ., ; Katz et al ., ; Sprovieri et al ., , ; Jarvis et al ., , ; Wendler, ). However, a unique feature of carbon isotope chemostratigraphy is the ability to compare records derived from oxidized carbon (carbonate, δ 13 C carb ) and reduced carbon (organic matter, δ 13 C org ) reservoirs (Jarvis et al ., ), and between marine and non‐marine (terrestrial) environments (Gröcke et al ., , ; Uramoto et al ., ).…”
