His method takes advantage of the fact that normal oxygen contains two stable isotopes, oxygen 18 and oxygen 16, in the proportion of 1 to 500. When a sea mollusk takes up calcium carbonate (CaCO3) to build its shell, the proportions of the oxygen isotopes in it vary with the temperature of the sea water.
