Marine core samples dated ranging in late Quaternary time frame (0-12Ka).
Dear Syed Azharuddin
As you know concentration of atmospheric CO2 has great effect on CO2 of the ocean the calcium carbonate producer organisms are affected by sea-level fluctuation. Therefore sea-level fluctuation can change the habitat of these organism as one of the most factor of CaCO3 source.
Cline and Hayes (1976) have been studied variation of CaCO3 of the ocean with paleoclimatic and sea-level fluctuation previously (see link below). by the study you will receive data of Late Quarternary.

Giresse (2007) interpreted cyclic variation of CaCO3 in Quaternary sediment and its relationship with sea-level fluctuation as case study (west of Africa) (see link below).

However Global Quarternary sea-level change has controlled by climatic change, therefore organic and inorganic factors of CaCO3 factors are affected by climatic change. I propose you to check Recent Quaternary Science Reviews Articles which deal with Quarternary climatic change, sea-level fluctuation and CaCO3 concentration (see link below).

Dear Syed,
You can see also articles in Quaternary International. There is a lot of info about sea level fluctuations during the Holocene.
Best,
Preslav
It depends on the study area. If in shallow environment, terrigenlus dilution effect is the key point. If in deep sea, co2 is important.
