............. 0-M.. M; ON... W4 V.-I Nol," W" W"',.......... uncertainty is±40C. For most oceano-graphic and climatological purposes, such a large uncertainty would be unacceptable. Shemesh et al. derived a silica-carbonate isotopic temperature calibration with a temperature coefficient of-0.26 per mil per degrees Celsius, with a corresponding paleotemperature uncertainty of only-+ 0.. 60C. How was this accomplished? From the data of A. Juillet-Leclerc and L. Labey-rie (7), Shemesh et al. selected 6 of the 18 data points spanning a small fraction of the temperature range and extracted a silica-water temperature coefficient that is incom-patible with other data. Thus their conclu-sions appear to be invalidated. Robert N. Clayton Enrico Fermii Institute, Unive~ rsity of Chicago,
