Are oxygen isotope fractionation factors between calcite and water derived from speleothems systematically biased due to prior calcite precipitation (PCP)? [PDF]
Geochimica et Cosmochemica Acta, 305, 212-227 (2021), 2021 The equilibrium oxygen isotope fractionation factor between calcite and water (18{\alpha}calcite/H2O) is an important quantity in stable isotope geochemistry and allows in principle to infer temperature variations from carbonate {\delta}18O if carbonate formation occurred in thermodynamic equilibrium. For this reason, many studies intended to determine
