Schone (d), Paul D. Rawson (a) Abstract: The relationship between stable isotope composition ([delta].sup.13C and [delta].sup.18O) in seawater and in larval shell aragonite of the sea scallop, Placopecten magellanicus, was investigated in a controlled experiment to determine whether isotopes in larval shell aragonite can be used as a reliable proxy for environmental conditions. The linear relationship between [delta].sup.13C.sub.DIC and [delta].sup.13C.sub.aragonite (r.sup.2 =0.97, p Author Affiliation: (a) School of Marine Sciences, University of Maine, Orono, ME 04469, USA (b) Department of Earth Sciences and Climate Change Institute, University of Maine, Orono, ME 04469, USA (c) Darling Marine Center, University of Maine, Walpole, ME 04535, USA (d) Department of Applied and Analytical Paleontology and INCREMENTS Research Group, Institute of Geosciences, University of Mainz, 55128 Mainz, Germany Article History: Received 12 June 2007; Accepted 24 June 2008 Article Note: (miscellaneous) Associate editor: Anne Cohen
