X‐ray fluorescence analyses of pteropod tests from the Gulf of Mexico provide the first detection of Zn in these shells and the first determination of Sr, V, and Zn concentrations of Diacria trispinosa shells. The results suggest further study of the contribution or acceptance of trace elements by pteropods on burial in sediments.
