New data on geochemistry

Described in the present paper is the evolution of the concept of “clarke” introduced by A. E. Fersman. Based on the data available in literature, the atomic clarkes of chemical elements in the earth’s crust were computed and the logarithmic distribution curves were drawn by means of the micro-computer (PC-1500). Volume percentages of the chemical elements in the orust were also computd and the legarithmic curves also drawn. Finally, the isotopic abundances of each element in the crust were computed.
