Title: The Carboniferous carbon isotope record from sedimentary organic matter: can we disentangle the carbon cycle?
Abstract: A comprehensive analysis of the 13C composition of sedimentary organic matter from Euramerican
Carboniferous successions indicates there are significant shifts in 13C through this key time interval.
Our studies have revealed that, at an individual location, the source and delivery mechanism of the
sediment contribute to the type of organic matter preserved and, in turn this influences the
measured 13C values from bulk sedimentary organic matter of organic matter.
