“…Access to a well‐calibrated series of reference carbonate standards (Guillong et al., 2020; Hill et al., 2016; Nuriel et al., 2021; Roberts et al., 2017) and new in‐field and laboratory strategies increases the potential for robust U‐Pb carbonate dating (Guillong et al., 2020; Montano et al., 2021, 2022; Rasbury et al., 2021, 2023; Roberts et al., 2020). The successful application of LA U‐Pb carbonate geochronology to constrain the timing of carbonate precipitation and diagenesis in a given stratigraphic succession or sedimentary basin is now well documented (e.g., Chaldekas et al., 2022; Elisha et al., 2021; Godeau et al., 2018; Gulbranson et al., 2022; Q. Li et al., 2014; Parrish et al., 2018; Rasbury et al., 2021; Rembe et al., 2022; Roberts & Holdsworth, 2022). This body of work opens up opportunities for dating the sedimentary record.…”
