22. The FEFF simulations were done using the crystal coordinates for geologic aragonite at http://cars9.uchicago.edu/atomsdb/CaCO3-ara.inp. The linear polarization and its direction with respect to the sample were specified using ELLIPTICITY and POLARIZATION cards in the FEFF input file. C and O K-edge XANES spectra were simulated at polar angles varying from 0°-90°. Both C and O spectra exhibit dichroism.
