    The carbon one had me stumped. When I finally got it it was a DUH moment!

      Nice puzzle!
      Just one issue with the anagram in 6D - There's one M missing (and one extra S).

        Thanks for catching that! Should be fixed now

        Thanks for another challenging and entertaining puzzle
        6D I, too, found that the fodder for the anagram was incorrect.
        28A I think that MONUMENTS is a poor synonym for "records" considering that "muniments" are records of land title.

          6D is fixed now - thanks for finding that!
          Fair critique on 28A - I didn't know that word, so it didn't even occur to me that it might be confusing

          Nice, lovely bits of misdirection... the only thing I didn't get was 11a (both in parse and in feeling)

            A langur is a type of monkey (and the answer is a homophone of that).

              Despite my own monkey business, I was not familiar, tysm
