Short summary
In this study, we applied geochemical tools to well-preserved ∼180-million-year-old marine mollusc shells from polar and mid-latitude seas. These results indicate that polar shells grew at temperatures of 8–18°C, while mid-latitude shells grew at temperatures of 24–28°C. These results, together with previously published data, raise concerns about the ability of climate models to predict accurate polar temperatures under reasonably high atmospheric CO2 levels.
