FIGURE 7.
Photosynthetic biosignatures in thrombolitic mats and thrombolite cores. Observed carbonate δ13CCaCO3 values (blue box) are higher than the maximum theoretical equilibrium δ13CCaCO3 value (red box). The maximum theoretical equilibrium δ13CCaCO3 value was calculated from the highest observed δ13CDIC value (yellow box) measured among groundwater and lake water samples.
