“…Magnesium is a common component in carbonates and its isotopes have been applied to paleoenvironmental and paleographic studies (Crockford et al, 2020;Fantle and Higgins, 2014;Gothmann et al, 2017;Higgins and Schrag, 2012;Li et al, 2015;Liu et al, 2018;Pogge von Strandmann et al, 2014). Moreover, isotopes can provide unique information for mineral dissolution, precipitation, as well as ion exchange between minerals and fluids (e.g., Chanda et al, 2019;Frierdich et al, 2019;Gorski and Fantle, 2017;Liu and Li, 2020;Zhu et al, 2020).…”
