چکیده

An improved and updated version of the statistical LOWESS fit to the marine Sr/Sr record and a revised look-up table (V3:10/99; available from [email protected]) based upon it enables straightforward conversion of Sr/Sr to numerical age, and vice versa, for use in strontium isotope stratigraphy (SIS). The table includes 95% confidence intervals on predictions of numerical age from Sr/Sr. This version includes the Triassic and Paleozoic record (0–509 Ma) omitted from previous versions because of the paucity of adequate data at the time of preparation. We highlight differences between the previous versions of the table and the current version and discuss some aspects of the Sr/Sr record that may have geological significance. We give examples of how the table can be used and where it has proven useful.

Age calibration of piston core EW9709-07 (equatorial central Pacific) using fish teeth Sr isotope stratigraphy

A high-resolution age–depth profile is presented for a 16-m deep-sea piston core (EW9709-PC07) using three different methods: magnetostratigraphy, fish-teeth strontium isotope stratigraphy, and radiolarian biostratigraphy. Fish teeth are abundant throughout the core, allowing for precise age determinations by Sr isotope stratigraphy. Magnetostratigraphic ages, though not available for this core...

Human mobility on the Brazilian coast: an analysis of strontium isotopes in archaeological human remains from Forte Marechal Luz Sambaqui.

This study investigated strontium isotopes in the dental enamel of 32 human skeletons from Forte Marechal Luz sambaqui (shellmound), Santa Catarina, Brazil, aiming at identifying local and non-local individuals. The archeological site presents pot sherds in the uppermost archeological layers. Dental enamel was also examined from specimens of terrestrial fauna ((87)Sr/(86)Sr = 0.71046 to 0.71273...

شیمی سنگ و ایزوتوپ‌های Sr-Nd توده‌های نیمه‌عمیق مافیک- حدواسط کاشمر، شاهدی بر فرورانش حوضه پشت کمان سبزوار به زیر بلوک لوت

On the basis of field studies, mafic-intermediate bodies of Kashmar are subdivided into the old series (often stocks of gabbro, diorite, quartz diorite/monzodiorite) and the new series (quartz monzodiorite swarm dykes). In terms of crosscutting relationships, old series has the age between oldest volcanic units (57 Ma) and Eocene granitoids (40 Ma), but the swarm dykes are attributed to the pos...

Fossil-wood carbon-isotope stratigraphy of the non-marine Wealden Group (Lower Cretaceous, southern England)

Fossil-wood carbon-isotope data are presented for the Wessex Formation, a non-marine unit within the Lower Cretaceous (Valanginian–Barremian) Wealden Group of the Isle of Wight and Dorset, southern England. The carbon-isotope values have a range ( C c. 26.6 to 19.8‰) that is consistent with that expected for Mesozoic C3 plants. Consideration of the Isle of Wight fossil-wood carbon-isotope data ...

Strontium concentration, radiogenic (Sr/Sr) and stable (δSr) strontium isotope systematics in a controlled feeding study

Transhumance and palaeodiet are two central themes in archaeology and using chemical analysis of bones and teeth to reconstruct trends and patterns in diet and mobility has become a cornerstone of bioarchaeology. This study has investigated strontium concentration ([Sr]), radiogenic (Sr/Sr) and stable strontium (δSr) isotope systematics in a controlled feeding experiment on domestic pigs design...
