Large euhedral crystals of calcium carbonate hexahydrate were recovered from a shelf basin of the Bransfield Strait, Antarctic Peninsula, at a water depth of 1950 meters and sub-zero bottom water temperatures. The chemistry, mineralogy, and stable isotope composition of this hydrated calcium carbonate phase, its environment of formation, and its mode of precipitation confirm the properties variously attributed to hypothetical precursors of the glendonites and thereby greatly expand their use in paleoceanographic interpretation.
从南极半岛布兰斯菲尔德海峡的一个陆棚盆地中，水深 1950 米且底层水温为零下的地方回收了六水合碳酸钙的大型规则晶体。这种水合碳酸钙相的化学、矿物学和稳定同位素组成、它的形成环境及其沉淀方式，证实了各种假设的格伦丁石前体的特性，从而大大扩展了它们在古海洋学解释中的应用。
