The Permian El Capitan and Jurassic Lincolnshire limestones have been intensely studied for their stratigraphy,
depositional setting and paleoecology. Nevertheless, the diagenetic development of these two units remains
controversial, particularly with regard to diagenetic carbonate formation. Calcite cement phases have previously been
characterized via δ^(18)O and δ^(13)C in order to determine precipitation temperatures and carbon sources, however, these
results have lead to conflicting hypotheses
