  abstract = {{A}lthough {S}r/{C}a ratios in abiogenic calcite are strongly controlled by precipitation rates, such a kinetic effect has never been demonstrated in calcitic bivalve shells. {T}herefore, we report {S}r/{C}a ratios together with daily growth rates in the calcitic shells of 4 individuals of the bivalve {P}ecten maximus (age class {I}). {R}atios of {S}r/{C}a were found to be variable among individuals that grew at the same location, illustrating that vital effects dominate over environmental controls. {A}lthough daily growth rate was correlated with shell {S}r/{C}a ratios, it explained only half of the {S}r/{C}a variations. {H}owever, daily shell surface area increment, an estimation of the total quantity of carbonate precipitated for a given time, explained 74% of the {S}r/{C}a variability in the shells of {P}. maximus. {T}his proves, for the first time in a calcitic bivalve, that shell {S}r/{C}a partitioning is mainly controlled by kinetic effects. {T}he {S}r/{C}a ratio should therefore be tested as a potential proxy of calcification rate in modern or fossil calcitic biocarbonates.},
