Use this geological calculation for a transparent first-pass interpretation of measured rock, soil, fluid, well, stratigraphic, isotopic, geophysical, or seismic data under an explicitly selected model.

Calcite d18O

Delta-18O of calcite in permil (PDB scale).

Water d18O

Delta-18O of the ambient water in permil (SMOW scale).

Estimate carbonate formation temperature from calcite and water delta-18O values using the Epstein-Craig paleotemperature equation. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Temperature (C)

Calcification temperature in degrees Celsius.

• Radiometric ages require the correct decay constants, isotopic ratios, standards, common-component correction, closure interpretation, initial composition, and analytical uncertainties. Disturbance, inheritance, diffusion, alteration, and model choice can make a calculated number differ from the geological event age.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Compare independent measurements and models, retain units and analytical metadata, propagate uncertainty, and validate interpretations against logs, cores, maps, laboratory data, or field observations.
