Database of global glendonite and ikaite records throughout the Phanerozoic

<p>Here database of Phanerozoic occurrences and isotopic characteristics of metastable cold-water calcium carbonate hexahydrate (ikaite; CaCO₃&middot;6H₂O) and its pseudomorphs (glendonites) is represented. Its current version includes 690 records ranged from Cambrian to recent, which based on 323 references, the authors&rsquo; data and additional personal communications from the colleagues. Database is provided as Excel2003 (.xls)- file, which consists from 5 sheets. The major sheet &lsquo;Glendonites and latitudes&rsquo; includes a list of localities along with latitude / longitude, geologic age (in Ma and substage), palaeolatitude, references, environments and host rock for all records. Three sheets, entitled &ldquo;Cenozoic glendonite and ikaite&rdquo;, &ldquo;Mesozoic glendonite&rdquo; and &ldquo;Paleozoic glendonite&rdquo; includes data concerning carbon and oxygen stable isotope values of, respectively, Cenozoic, Mesozoic and Paleozoic samples. The last sheet &ldquo;References&rdquo; contains list of references in APA style, accompanied by DOI numbers and hyperlinks to electronic versions (if available).</p>
