چکیده

This paper presents new U–Th ages obtained by LA-MC-CP-MS (laser ablation - multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) on coral samples from a sedimentary core of the Tunis lagoon. The and calculated ( 234 U/ 238 U) 0 initial ratios, similar to seawater value for most corals demonstrate that they behaved as closed systems, or with only very limited loss U 230 Th. (from 196 182 ka) show coral-rich sediments were deposited near end isotope stage 7. precision dates is comparable those alpha-spectrometry (around 7.6% average), but possibility multiple in-situ analyses offers other advantages. An example provided unusual open-system behaviour found in outer Mg-calcite border branch, formed coralline red alga. high Th/ activity ratios (1.41 2.04, respectively) are tentatively explained using model proposed [Thompson et al., 2003], involves continuous enrichment Th recoil nuclei an U-enriched source. We suggest this source might come bio-mineral itself, form organic matter originally involved encrusting algal activity, eventually degraded almost complete U-loss.

Chemical mediation of coral larval settlement by crustose coralline algae

The majority of marine invertebrates produce dispersive larvae which, in order to complete their life cycles, must attach and metamorphose into benthic forms. This process, collectively referred to as settlement, is often guided by habitat-specific cues. While the sources of such cues are well known, the links between their biological activity, chemical identity, presence and quantification in ...

Dating of Precambrian Metasedimentary Rocks and Timing of their Metamorphism in the Soursat Metamorphic Complex (NW IRAN): Using LA–ICP-MS, U–Pb Dating of Zircon and Monazite

Soursat Metamorphic Complex (SMC) in west of Takab city is one of the polyphase metamorphic terrenes in northern Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic belt of Iran. The SMC composed mainly of metasedimentary rocks associated with granitic intrusions. Based on metamorphic rocks, two metamorphic phases could be separate in the complex. M1 is representative of regional metamorphisms which varies from greens...

Nickel Isotope Investigation by Mc-icp-ms and Ptims

Introduction: The evidence for the presence of short-lived Fe (decaying into Ni, with the half life of 1.5 Ma) in the early system has recently received considerable attention, both experimentally and theoretically. Evidence for Ni excesses in eucrites, without correlation to Fe/Ni has been obtained by Shukolyukov and Lugmair [1, 2]. Recently, based on ion microprobe studies of phases with very...

Zinc isotope ratio imaging of rat brain thin sections from stable isotope tracer studies by LA-MC-ICP-MS.

Zinc stable isotope tracers (⁶⁷Zn and ⁷⁰Zn) were injected into rats at two different time points to investigate the feasibility of using tracers to study zinc kinetics at the microscale within distinct tissue features. Laser ablation coupled to multi-collector ICP-MS was used to analyse average isotope ratios in liver thin sections and to generate bio-images showing zinc isotope ratio distribut...
