Resumen: In this paper the organic and inorganic geochemistry of fossil and extant Persististrombus
latus are compared, together with other strombid species (Lentigo lentiginosus, Lobatus
gigas, Strombus alatus, Lobatus raninus, Laevistrombus canarium and Tricornis latissimus).
Using a large sample of well-preserved fossil P. latus shells from the Mediterranean
realm, we examined the warming period of sea water in the Middle Pleistocene. A mineralogical study of the shells demonstrates the continuous presence of calcite and a complex
organic matter distribution, which was well ...
