The ratios of the carbon isotopes 13C and 12C of twenty-four graphite samples from Bogala Mine, Sri Lanka have been determined. The graphites are isotopically very similar (mean value ; range ). Three models for the biogenic or abiogenic origin of the graphite deposit are discussed. 相似文献

Various models have been suggested concerning the origin and evolution of the earth's atmosphere. An estimate of the nitrogen content of the mantle could further constrain atmospheric models. Total nitrogen content was determined by thermal neutron activation analysis via 14N(n,p)14C. The 14C was converted to carbon dioxide and counted in miniature low level proportional counters. The total nitrogen content of U.S.G.S. standards BCR-1 and G-2 as determined by different laboratories is variable, probably due to atmospheric adsorption by the finely ground samples. Total nitrogen content was determined in deep sea basalt glasses from three regions: East Pacific Rise (, and ), Mid-Atlantic Rift (FAMOUS Region:, and ) and the Juan de Fuca Ridge (). Matrix material from the same samples as the glasses was available from the East Pacific Rise (, and ) and the Mid-Atlantic Rift () which are about 50 to 100% greater than the associated glasses. The increased matrix abundance may be due to incorporation of chemically bound nitrogen from sea water rather than dissolved molecular nitrogen. The nitrogen content of the FAMOUS samples are inconsistent with the model of Langmuir et al. (1977) for petrogenesis based on trace element data. Factors which can affect the observed nitrogen content in the basalts and the interpretation in terms of the mantle nitrogen abundance are discussed (e.g. partial melting and degassing of the basalts). A lower limit of about 2 ppm N in the mantle can be estimated. 相似文献

Fourteen ureilites were analyzed for stable C isotopic composition using stepped combustion. The δ13C values over the temperature range 500 to 1000°C are fairly constant for any particular meteorite although there are differences between samples. The similarity in combustion temperatures of pure diamond (600–1000δC) and pure graphite (600–800°C) makes it difficult to ascertain the relative proportions of either component within each sample. However, the constant δ13C values observed over the range 500 to 1000°C strongly suggests that ureilite diamond and graphite have the same isotopic composition. This would seem to confirm that the diamond in ureilites formed from the graphite during a process, presumably an impact event, which did not fractionate C isotopes.There is a variation in C isotopic composition of graphite/diamond intergrowths among ureilites, which is not continuous—the samples fall into two groups, with δ13C values clustered around ?10%. and ?2%. PDB. These groups are also distinguishable on the basis of the Fe content of their olivines, which may reflect the existence of more than one ureilite parent body. The brecciated ureilite North Haig has a δ13C value of ?6.5%. and it is thus possible that this sample contains components from mixed parent materials.Nitrogen abundance and stable isotope measurements were made on five samples using stepped combustion analysis. Nitrogen concentrations range from 25 to 150 ppm and ratios are substantially less than for carbonaceous chondrites. Variation in N isotopic composition is wide and there is evidence of different ratios in diamond/graphite, silicate and metal. 相似文献

The 26Al, light rare gas and major and minor element contents of Al-rich and poor samples separated from Allende. Bereba and Junivas have been measured. The production rate of 21Ne from Al (21PAl) is and The 3He, 21Ne and 38Ar exposure ages of the eucritic pyroxenes agree suggesting complete cosmogenic gas retention. The eucritic feldspars have lost virtually all 3He and most radiogenic 4He. The equation 26Al = 0.42 ± 0.41 Mg + 2.74 ± 0.21 Si + 4.92 ± 0.51 Al + 1.33 S + 0.24 Ca + 0.03 Fe reproduces within 15% our 26Al measurements and the average values measured in ordinary chondrites without recourse to unusual cosmic-ray effects. 相似文献

The solid metal/silicate melt partition coefficient for P, D(P), has been determined experimentally at 1190°C and 1300°C. The dependence of the partition coefficient on oxygen fugacity has been investigated, and is consistent with a valence state of 5 for P in the silicate melt. The experimental partition coefficients are given by: The experimentally determined partition coefficients may be used to interpret the low ratios of the Earth, Moon and eucrites relative to C1 chondrites. The low ratios in the eucrites may be explained by partitioning of P into 5% to 25% of a sulfur-bearing metallic liquid assuming equilibration and separation of the liquid metal from the silicates at low degrees of partial melting of the silicates. The low ratios in the eucrites compared to C1 chondrites require the separation of an additional 2% to 10% solid metal.The lowering of both and ratios in the Moon may be explained by partitioning of P and W into metal during formation of a small core by separation of liquid metal from silicate at low degrees of partial melting of the silicates. The ratios in the Earth and Moon are virtually indistinguishable, while ratios differ by a factor of two. The concentrations of FeO also appear to be different. These observations are difficult to reconcile with the hypothesis of a terrestrial origin of the Moon following formation of the Earth's core, but are consistent with independent formation of the Earth and Moon. 相似文献

The 10Be contents of 28 stony meteorites with known 21Ne contents range from 0.97 to 23 dpm/kg and give an average 21Ne production rate (P21) of (0.28 ± 0.02) × 108 cm3 STP/g-Myr for shielding conditions corresponding to in an H-chondrite. Our agrees with others' P21 based on 22Na, 81Kr and 53Mn but not on 26A1. Temporal variations in the cosmic ray flux do not explain the disagreement satisfactorily; major errors in the radionuclide half-lives are not indicated. The discrepancy seems rooted in the data selection and the difficulties of making accurate corrections for shielding, chemical composition and other sources of variability. 相似文献

Extents of racemization ( ratios) of amino acids in fossil Saxidomus giganteus (Deshayes) and Ostrea lurida Carpenter were measured on shell deposits exposed at 21 sites on the east side of Willapa Bay, Washington. Amino acids from Saxidomus show less variability in ratios and, therefore, are of greater use in correlation and age estimation than are amino acids from Ostrea. Shells of two different ages, about 120,000 ± 40,000 yr old and about 190,000 ± 40,000 yr old, are present. These ages correspond to Stages 5 and 7 of the marine isotope record defined by Shackleton and Opdyke in 1973 and hence the shell deposits likely formed during two different high stands of sea level. The stratigraphic record at Willapa Bay is consistent with this interpretation. 相似文献

and ratios were measured for 114 petroleum samples and for several samples of related organic matter. δD of crude oil ranges from ?85 to ?181‰, except for one distillate (?250‰) from the Kenai gas field; δ13C of crude oil ranges from ?23.3 to ?32.5‰, Variation in δD and δ13C values of compound-grouped fractions of a crude oil is small, 3 and 1.1%., respectively, and the difference in δD and δ13C between oil and coeval wax is slight. Gas fractions are 53–70 and 22.6–23.2‰ depleted in D and 13C, respectively, relative to the coexisting oil fractions.The δD and δ13C values of the crude oils appear to be largely determined by the isotopic compositions of their organic precursors. The contribution of terrestrial organic debris to the organic precursors of most marine crude oils may be significant. 相似文献

Calculations based on approximately 350 new measurements (CaT-PCO2) of the solubilities of calcite, aragonite and vaterite in CO2-H2O solutions between 0 and 90°C indicate the following values for the log of the equilibrium constants KC, KA, and KV respectively, for the reaction CaCO3(s) = Ca2+ + CO2?3: where T is in oK. At 25°C the logarithms of the equilibrium constants are ?8.480 ± 0.020, ?8.336 ± 0.020 and ?7.913 ± 0.020 for calcite, aragonite and vaterite, respectively.The equilibrium constants are internally consistent with an aqueous model that includes the CaHCO+3 and CaCO03 ion pairs, revised analytical expressions for CO2-H2O equilibria, and extended Debye-Hückel individual ion activity coefficients. Using this aqueous model, the equilibrium constant of aragonite shows no PCO2-dependence if the CaHCO+3 association constant is between 0 and 90°C, corresponding to the value logKCahco+3 = 1.11 ± 0.07 at 25°C. The CaCO03 association constant was measured potentiometrically to be between 5 and 80°C, yielding logKCaCO03 = 3.22 ± 0.14 at 25°C.The CO2-H2O equilibria have been critically evaluated and new empirical expressions for the temperature dependence of KH, K1 and K2 are , and logK2 = ?107.8871 ? 0.03252849T + 5151.79/T + 38.92561 logT ? 563713.9/T2 which may be used to at least 250°C. These expressions hold for 1 atm. total pressure between 0 and 100°C and follow the vapor pressure curve of water at higher temperatures.Extensive measurements of the pH of Ca-HCO3 solutions at 25°C and 0.956 atm PCO2 using different compositions of the reference electrode filling solution show that measured differences in pH are closely approximated by differences in liquid-junction potential as calculated by the Henderson equation. Liquid-junction corrected pH measurements agree with the calculated pH within 0.003-0.011 pH.Earlier arguments suggesting that the CaHCO+3 ion pair should not be included in the CaCO3-CO2-H2O aqueous model were based on less accurate calcite solubility data. The CaHCO+3 ion pair must be included in the aqueous model to account for the observed PCO2-dependence of aragonite solubility between 317 ppm CO2 and 100% CO2.Previous literature on the solubility of CaCO3 polymorphs have been critically evaluated using the aqueous model and the results are compared. 相似文献

Calcium chloride brines are, as a rule, relatively rich in strontium, but the enrichment is usually limited and is found to be related to the concentration of calcium. The limiting mechanisms were evaluated as a model which comprises simple interactions between minerals and solutions. Based on the known ranges of strontium concentration in minerals, mineral solubilities and partition coefficients of strontium (both poorly known in certain cases), six fields of molar ratios were defined in terms of participating minerals and processes: (a) 0.38?1.56 × 10? 3 by dolomitization of calcite; (b) 1.5?2.2 × 10? 2 due to dolomitization of aragonite; (c) 0.4?1.4 × 10? 2 as a result of solution-reprecipitation of calcite; (d)0.12?0.20 through transformation of aragonite to calcite; (e)0.10?0.60 through equilibrium of the pair calcite-strontianite; and (f)0.01?0.08 by equilibrium with gypsum and celestite.The model was applied to the analysis of two groups of brines from southern Israel which are originated in the coastal plain (group C) and in the rift valley (group R). The low ratios of both water groups point to dolomitization as the main subsurface modifying process. ratios of brines belonging to group C are consistent with dolomitization of aragonitic surface sediments at the beginning of their evolution. Brines of group R bear evidence to a similar pathway at the beginning of their evolution, but most of them were further affected by interaction with limestone. 相似文献

We carried out a detailed rock-magnetic and paleointensity study of the ~187-Ma volcanic succession from northern Chile. A total of 32 consecutive lava flows (about 280 oriented standard paleomagnetic cores) were collected at the Tocopilla locality. Only 26 samples with apparently preserved primary magnetic mineralogy and without secondary magnetization components were pre-selected for Thellier paleointensity determination. Eleven samples coming from four lava flows yielded reliable paleointensity estimates. The flow-mean virtual dipole moments range from 3.7±0.9 to A m2). This corresponds to a mean value of (5.0±1.8)×1022 A m2, which is in reasonably good agreement with other comparable quality paleointensity determinations from the Middle Jurassic. Given the large dispersion and the very poor distribution of reliable absolute intensity data, it is hard to draw any firm conclusions regarding the time evolution of the geomagnetic field.

Garnets and pyroxenes from granulites ranging in composition from trondhjemitic to ultramafic were analysed with the electron probe in order to test current geothermometric and geobarometric models. A consistent pressure and temperature estimate based on garnet-pyroxene equilibria shows that the peak of metamorphism was at and 11 kb and implies a minimum crustal thickness of 30 km and a maximum geothermal gradient of 25–28°C, km?1, at 2700 Ma in the Scourie area.

Stable carbon isotope fractionation by seventeen species of marine phytoplankton, representing the classes of Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Prasinophyceae, Chrysophyceae, Haptophyceae and Dinophyceae have been determined in laboratory culture experiments using bicarbonate enriched artificial sea water. The values (ΔHCO3? = δ13C of algae vs HCO3?) range from ?22.1 to ?35.5%. Nitzschia closterium shows the smallest fractionation of ? 22.1% and Isochrysis galbana, the greatest of ?35.5%,. Since these algae were cultured under identical laboratory conditions, the wide range of ΔHCO3? values is seemingly due to the presence of different metabolic pathways within these organisms.A temperature dependent fractionation of 0.36% per °C with decreasing temperatures was measured for Skeletonema costatum whereas, smaller temperature dependencies of ?0.13, +0.15 and ?0.07%. per °C were observed for Dunaliella sp., Monochrysis lutheri and Glenodinium foliaceum, respectively.The consistency of values of Skeletonema costatum, Dunaliella sp. and Monochrysis lutheri grown at salinities of 22, 26, 32 and 36% indicates that natural salinity variations have negligible effects on the isotopic composition of marine phytoplankton. 相似文献

Precambrian sedimentary carbonates: carbon and oxygen isotope geochemistry and implications for the terrestrial oxygen budget 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Carbon isotope values of 260 Precambrian limestones and dolomites (most of them being substantially unaltered) have yielded an overall mean of vs. PDB; the corresponding oxygen values average at vs. SMOW. Like the overall mean, the δ 13C values furnished by individual carbonate occurrences are, as a rule, fairly “modern” and almost constant as from the very beginning of the sedimentary record. A remarkable exception are the “heavy” dolomites of the Middle Precambrian Lomagundi Group, Rhodesia, with vs. PDB. As a result of our measurements, the sporadic occurrence in the geological past of anomalously heavy carbonates seems to be established.The approximate constancy around zero per mill of the δ 13C values of marine carbonates through geologic time would imply a corresponding constancy of the relative proportion of organic carbon in the total sedimentary carbon reservoir since about 3.3 · 109 y ago (with Corg/Ctotal ? 0.2). Utilizing this ratio and current models for the accumulation of the sedimentary mass as a function of time, we get a reasonable approximation for the absolute quantity of organic carbon buried in sediments and, accordingly, of photosynthetic oxygen released. Within the constraints of our model (based on a terrestrial degassing constant λ = 1.16 · 10?9 y?1) close to 80% of the amount of oxygen contained in the present oxygen budget should have been released prior to 3 · 109 y ago. Since geological evidence indicates an O2-deficient environment during the Early and most parts of the Middle Precambrian, there is reason to believe that the distribution of this oxygen between the “bound” and the “molecular” reservoir was different from that of today (with effective O2-consuming reactions bringing about an instantaneous transfer to the crust of any molecular oxygen released). Accordingly, the amount of Corg in the ancient sedimentary reservoir as derived from our isotope data is just a measure of the gross amount of photosynthetic oxygen produced, withholding any information as to how this oxygen was partitioned between the principal geochemical reservoirs. As a whole, the carbon isotope data accrued provide evidence of an extremely early origin of life on Earth since the impact of organic carbon on the geochemical carbon cycle can be traced back to almost 3.5 · 109y. 相似文献

Isotopic measurements in polar ice core have shown a succession of rapid warming periods during the last glacial period over Greenland. However, this method underestimates the surface temperature variations. A new method based on gas thermal diffusion in the firn manages to quantify surface temperature variations through associated isotopic fractionations. We developed a method to extract air from the ice and to perform isotopic measurements to reduce analytical uncertainties to 0.006 and 0.020 for δ15N and δ40Ar. It led to a 16±1.5 °C surface temperature variation during a rapid warming ( yr). To cite this article: A. Landais et al., C. R. Geoscience 336 (2004). 相似文献

The Roving Automated Rare Gas Analysis (RARGA) lab of Berkeley's Physics Department was deployed in Yellowstone National Park for a 19 week period commencing in June, 1983. During this time 66 gas and water samples representing 19 different regions of hydrothermal activity within and around the Yellowstone caldera were analyzed on site. Routinely, the abundances of five stable noble gases and the isotopic compositions of He, Ne, and Ar were determined for each sample. In a few cases the isotopes of Kr and Xe were also determined and found to be of normal atmospheric constitution.Correlated variations in the isotopic compositions of He and Ar can be explained within the precision of the measurements by mixing of only three distinct components. The first component is of magmatic origin and is enriched in the primordial isotope 3He with times the air value. This component also contains radiogenic 40Ar and possible 36Ar with , resulting in a ratio ≥ 41,000 times the air value. The second component is assumed to be purely radiogenic 4He and 40Ar (). This component is the probable carrier of observed excesses of 211Ne, attributed to the α,n reaction on 18O. Its radiogenic character implies a crustal origin in U. Th, and Krich aquifer rocks. The third component, except for possible mass fractionation, is isotopically indistinguishable from the noble gases in the atmosphere. This component originates largely from infiltrating run-off water saturated with atmospheric gases.In addition to exhibiting nucleogenic 211Ne, Ne data show anomalies in the ratio , which correlate roughly with the anomalies for the most part, but not as would occur from simple mass fractionation. Some exaggerated instances of the anomaly occur which could be explained by combined mass fractionation of Ne and Ar isotopes to a severe degree coupled with remixing with normally isotopic gases. Otherwise exotic processes have to be invoked to explain the 20Ne data.Relative abundances of the non-radiogenic and non-nucleogenic noble gases (22Ne, 36Ar, 84Kr, and 132Xe) are highly variable but strongly correlated. High Xe/Ar ratios are always accompanied by low Ne/ Ar ratios and vice versa. Except for water from the few cold (T < 20°C) springs analyzed, none of the samples have relative abundances consistent with air saturated water and the observed variations are not readily explained by the distillation of air saturated water.In characterizing each area of hydrothermal activity by the highest ratio found for that area, we find that within the caldera this parameter is somewhat uniform at ~7 ± 1 times the air value. There are exceptions, most notably at Mud Volcano, an area located along a crest of recent and rapid uplift. Here the maximum ratio is ~ 16 times the air value. Also noteworthy is Gibbon Basin which is in the vicinity of the most recent rhyolitic volcanism and exhibits a ratio ~ 13 times the air value. Immediately outside the caldera the maximum ratio decreases rapidly to values < ~3 times the air value. 相似文献

Fractionation factors between epidote minerals and water, and between the AlO(OH) dimorphs boehmite and diaspore and water, have been determined between 150 and 650°C. Small water mineral ratios were used to minimise the effect of incongruent dissolution of epidote minerals. Waters were extracted and analysed directly by puncturing capsules under vacuum. Hydrogen diffusion effects were eliminated by using thick-walled capsules. Exchange rates are very fast between epidote and water (and between boehmite and water), complete exchange taking only minutes above 450°C but several months at 250°C. Exchange between zoisite and water (and between diaspore and water) is very much slower, and an interpolation method was necessary to determine fractionation factors at 450 and below.For the temperature range 300–650°C, the equilibrium fractionation factor (αe) between epidote and water is independent of temperature and Fe content of the epidote, and is given by 1000 In αepidote-H2Oe = ?35.9 ± 2.5, while below 300°C 1000 In , with a ‘cross-over’ estimated to occur at around 185°C. By contrast, zoisite-water fractionations fit the relationship 1000 In .All studied minerals have hydrogen bonding. Fractionations are consistent with the general relationship: the shorter the O-H -- O bridge, the more depleted is the mineral in D.On account of rapid exchange rates, natural epidotes probably acquired their H-isotope compositions at or below 200°C, where fractionations are near or above 0%.; this is in accord with the observation that natural epidotes tend to concentrate D relative to other coexisting hydrous minerals. 相似文献
