A) using the fossil as a paleo-depth indicator because water temperature varies with depth
B) using the fossil's coiling direction is a proxy for climate because the surface water temperature would be highly correlated to surface temperature
C) using isotopes to fingerprint temperature
D) geomagic; the whole idea is preposterous
