Abstract. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) plays an important role in the natural environment as a major constituent of the skeleton and supporting structure of marine life and has high economic importance as additive in food, chemicals and medical products. Pure CaCO3 occurs in the three different polymorphs calcite, aragonite and vaterite, whereof calcite is the most abundant and best characterized mineral. In contrast, little is known about the rare polymorph vaterite, in particular with regard to the oxygen isotope fractionation between H2O and the mineral. Synthetic precipitation of vaterite in the laboratory typically involves rapid processes and isotopic non-equilibrium, which excludes isotope studies focused on characterization of vaterite at equilibrium conditions. Here, we used a new experimental approach that enables vaterite mineral formation from an isotopically equilibrated solution. The solution consists of a ~ 0.007 mol L-1 CaCO3 solution that is saturated with NaCl at room temperature (up to 6.5 mol L-1). Vaterite precipitated as single phase or major phase (≥ 94%) in experiments performed between 23 and 91 °C. Only at 80 °C was vaterite a minor phase with a relative abundance of 27%. The high mineral yield of up to 235 mg relative to a total dissolved CaCO3 amount of 370 mg enables an investigation of the oxygen isotope fractionation between mineral and water, and the determination of clumped isotope values in vaterite.

<p>Belemnite calcite has been used extensively for Jurassic and Cretaceous stable oxygen isotope temperature reconstructions since the 1950s. However, with the advent of clumped isotope thermometry, a consistent offset between reconstructed δ<sup>18</sup>O temperatures vs Δ<sub>47</sub> temperatures from the same belemnites has been observed. We investigate the causes of this offset by analyzing samples from the aragonitic phragmacone and calcitic rostrum from the same Cylindroteuthis belemnites, along with other aragonitic benthos, from the Callovian-aged Christian Malford Lagerstätte, U.K. Our new clumped isotope data suggest that the water-calcite <sup>18</sup>O-fractionation factor in belemnite calcite was larger than that of the commonly used δ<sup>18</sup>O thermometry equations (e.g. Kim and O’Neil, 1997), and which is currently observed in other marine calcifiers. Our reconstructions suggest that the oxygen isotope fractionation is compatible with that observed in slow-forming abiotic calcites (e.g. Coplen, 2007) and in rapidly precipitating Travertines (Kele et al. 2015). The application of more established δ<sup>18</sup>O thermometry equations (Kim and O’Neil, 1997) to belemnite calcite for temperature reconstructions has resulted in a consistent underestimation of belemnite calcification temperatures, which has led to erroneous conclusions about belemnite life habits, and underestimation of global temperatures during these greenhouse times. We therefore advocate the use of calcite equations based on low precipitation rate experiments (e.g. Coplen, 2007; Kele et al., 2015) for belemnite rostra temperature reconstructions.</p>
