All he had to say was that bacteria reproduce very fast. |
I'd be interested to see his calculations regarding the necessary concentration of Mg/Ca carbonates in the oceans at around that time. All that lime hasta come from somewhere!
All the limestone near us has shells & corals in it. Tons of the stuff. Mountains of it. Layer upon layer upon ... |
All I know about that is what I learned from Richard Fortey writing about coccoliths in his "Unauthorised Biography of LIFE", with an image of the White Cliffs of Dover in my mind.
