15. The smoothed records reduce the maximum amplitude of the Sr increases from 120 to 80%.
16. Bulk carbonate was flushed with 1.0 N ammonium acetate to remove Sr adsorbed on exchange sites. The carbonate residue was then dissolved in 1.0 N acetic acid as in (13).

24. The effect of Ca variability on Sr partitioning is not included in the model, because the riverine-hydrothermal flux is held constant and Ca is not released during aragonite recrystallizaton. Initial Sr model concentrations are 1650 ppm for aragonite and 500 ppm for calcite.
