The deposition of carbonaceous sediment in these periods is also suggested by the secular variation in the stable carbon isotopic record (i.e., [sup.13]C/[sup.12]C ratio) of sedimentary carbonate and organic matter, which primarily reflects the ratio of the dissolved C[O.sub.2] in the surface ocean.
