Stable isotope geochemistry of terrestrial carbonates provides important opportunities to answer questions about climates, environments, and ecosystems both in the present day and the geologic past. Here we present a case study from the Cretaceous Newark Canyon Formation (NCF) type section (~98–113 Ma), where we explore how climate and depositional settings influence the stable isotope record in highly variable lacustrine and palustrine carbonates. The NCF was deposited within the hinterland of the Sevier orogenic belt and allows us to examine how North American terrestrial climate changed during the mid-Cretaceous, a time of potentially significant regional surface uplift and increasing global temperatures related to the Cretaceous Thermal Maximum (Di Fiori et al., 2020; Huber et al., 2018). In this study, we find substantial inter- and intra-facies heterogeneity, despite having formed in the same overall climate setting, highlighting the differences between lacustrine and palustrine environments. Stable carbon, oxygen, and clumped isotopes (δ¹³C, δ¹⁸O_carbonate, and Δ₄₇) paired with optical and cathodoluminescence petrography from along-strike lateral and vertical stratigraphic sections show significant isotopic variability between and within seven carbonate facies (Fetrow et al., 2020). Palustrine deposition is interpreted to have occurred along a spectrum of shallow water depths preserved in two key palustrine sub-facies endmembers – shallower mottled micrite and deeper pebbly, peloid-rich micrite. These record mean Δ₄₇ temperatures of 51ºC and 44°C, respectively. The mottled micrite has heavier calculated δ¹⁸O of formation water (δ¹⁸O_water) values indicating increased evaporative enrichment, which suggests more intense desiccation during deposition. Lacustrine sediments preserved in laminated biomicrite to massive micrite have mean Δ₄₇ temperatures of 50ºC and 37°C, respectively. Elevated temperatures and δ¹³C, δ¹⁸O_carb, and δ¹⁸O_water values more similar to values from NCF secondary spar veins indicate that the biomicrite sub-facies underwent diagenetic alteration. We will discuss the implications of these results for the NCF and the Cretaceous western USA paleoclimate record, as well as general lessons learned for interpreting mixed terrestrial carbonate facies records.
