Supplemental Information

The belemnites are dervied from sections in Spain, located near Caravaca and Cehegín: Prado Borda Section, 2.1 km SSE of Caravaca (38°05’13°N 1°51’14°W); Sections on the north-eastern slope of Mai Valera Mountain, 2 km W of Cehegín (38°05’39°N 1°49’09°W), Sections along the Cañada Luenga ravine, 3.1 km SSW of Cehegín (38°04’02°N 1°48’49°W), and the Barranco del Garranchal Section, 5.5 km SSW of Cehegín (38°02’42°N 1°49’20°W). The belemnites from France are from the La Charce section (44°28’09°N 5°26’37°W), the Vergol/Morénas section(44°12’12°N 5°25’09°W), and the Angles Section (43°56’28°N 6°32’32°W).

Statement

The belemnites were prepared for stable isotope & trace element analysis by first removing the areas of the rostrum typically most prone to diagenesis. The remaining calcite was then fragmented, washed in ultrapure (Type 1) water and dried in a clean environment. Using 300 to 400 micrograms of carbonate, stable isotope data were generated on a VG Optima mass spectrometer with a Gilson autosampler at the University of Plymouth. Isotope ratios were calibrated using NBS standards and are given in δ notation relative to the Vienna Pee Dee Belemnite (V-PDB). Reproducibility was generally better than 0.1‰ for samples and standard materials. The sub-samples taken for trace element analysis were digested in HNO3 and analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometer (ICP-AES) using a PerkinElmer 3100 at the University of Plymouth.
