Modern marine carbonate sediments accumulate where carbonate‐producing organisms are abundant and siliciclastic input is low. Such accumulations occur today in two main environments and may be characterized as warm, low‐nutrient (WLN; also known as tropical or chlorozoan) carbonates or cool, high‐nutrient (CHN; also known as cool‐water, temperate, nontropical, foramol, or heterozoan) carbonates. Few carbonates form today in warm, high‐nutrient (WHN) conditions because such environments are very… Expand
