Skeletal remains in archaeological strata are often assumed to be of similar ages. Here we show that combined Sr and O isotope analyses can serve as a powerful tool for assessing fish provenance and even for identifying fossil fish teeth in archaeological contexts. For this purpose, we established a reference Sr and O isotope dataset of extant fish teeth from major water bodies in the Southern ...
The rubidium-strontium dating method is a radiometric dating technique used by scientists to determine the age of rocks and minerals from the quantities they contain of specific isotopes of rubidium (87 Rb) and strontium (87 Sr, 86 Sr).. Development of this process was aided by German chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann, who later went on to discover nuclear fission in December 1938.

Based on sampling and strontium isotopic compositions of the Permian carbonate rock strata in the northern part of the Upper Yangtze, the Permian strontium isotope evolution curve was established.

12%The Sr isotopic systematics in the weathering profiles of biotite granite and granite porphyry in southern Jiangxi Province were investigated. The results showed that during the chemical weathering of granites, remarked fractionation occurred between Rb and Sr. During the early stages of chemical weathering of granites, the released Sr/Si and Sr/Ca ratios are larger than those of the …
Contrasting interpretations of existing models of Sr and Pb isotope evolution can be eliminated with a model in which crustal material is recycled through the mantle. In this model the earth's crust and upper mantle (above approximately 500 km depth) are in a steady-state system, and the volumes and bulk compositions of ocean, continent, and ...
The 87Sr/86Sr ratios have been determined in 22 volcanic rocks from Oregon and Washington. The emphasis of the study was on andesites and dacites, but several basalts were included. Most of the samples have a very limited range in strontium isotopic composition and all fall within variations previously defined for oceanic basalts. There are no systematic differences between lavas erupted ...
A Model for the Evolution of Strontium and Lead Isotopes in a Dynamic Earth - NASA/ADS.
The Sr isotopic evolution of the Earth and its major silicate reservoirs (the continental crust and mantle) is illustrated in the isotope evolution diagram of Fig. 1, showing 87 Sr/ 86 Sr vs. time. Hence a closed reservoir will evolve along a line whose slope is proportional to the parent-daughter ratio 87 Rb/ 86 Sr, as shown by Eq.
RADIOGENIC isotopes in clastic sediments record how the average age and composition of the exposed continental crust has changed with time. Most of …
Strontium isotopic ratios are widely used as tracers in geological processes and as indicators of provenance in an archaeological context. A significant fraction of the Earth's 87 Sr is not primordial, but is produced by the decay of 87 Rb. Geochemically, Strontium follows Calcium, while Rubidium follows Potassium; thus, the geological variability of Sr isotope ratios in rocks is a function ...
system, the ratio of radiogenic 87Sr to the stable isotope 86Sr in rocks slowly increases with time (t) as a function of the rock's Rb/Sr ratio: 87Sr 86 Sr ¼ 87Sr 86! i þ Rb Sr eλt where λ is the decay constant of the parent isotope (1.42⁎10 −11 yr 1) and (87Sr/86Sr) i is the initial 87Sr/86Sr (Faure, 1977). Rb/Sr varies between ...
Abstract. The 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratio has been extensively used in groundwater studies for several reasons. While classified geochemically as a trace element, Sr is found in easily measurable quantities in a wide variety of rocks. It is soluble in aqueous solution as the +2 ion and is geochemically very similar to Ca, the latter a major alkaline-earth constituent of rocks.
The global strontium isotope evolution curve of 248–300 Ma (McArthur et al., 2012) with glacial intervals in Gondwana compared with those of different authors and recalculated with the current version of the Permian timescale (Shen et al., 2019); 1 – Metcalfe et al.

In terms of temporal evolution, human Sr isotopes increase with time from the Early Gravettian to the Epigravettian (Fig. 1). The more radiogenic 87 Sr/ 86 Sr …
The divergent evolution of the Sr isotope record for the Muschelkalk Sea is most likely due to its restricted nature. During the Upper Muschelkalk, an increased input of fresh water, combined with a high evaporation rate, resulted in the input of radiogenic Sr and salinities approaching those of coeval seawater.
Therefore, the evolution of the strontium isotope composition of the water that deposited the calcite, as recorded by the strontium coprecipitated with calcium in the calcite, was used to develop a model for determining the age of the calcite. Donald DePaolo assisted with application of …
This provides us with a good opportunity to verify the practicability of different dating approaches, especially the strontium (Sr) isotope analysis of bulk carbonate. Here, we retrieved a 972.55-m-long core from the Xisha Islands to provide a credible chronologic constraint on the carbonate platform evolution.

A detailed sampling of two teleosaurid teeth belonging to PRC-239 along incremental growth lines allows tracking the evolution of the strontium isotope signal (and therefore of the provenance) during the time necessary for mineralization.

Long-lived radiogenic isotopes – particularly strontium (Sr), neodymium (Nd), and hafnium (Hf) – have been widely used in the fields of solid earth and earth system sciences to investigate the evolution of igneous and metamorphic rocks, source tracking of sediments, continental weathering regimes, dust provenance, hydrothermal inputs to the oceans, and past and present ocean circulation ...
The element strontium has four naturally occurring isotopes – all are stable: 84 Sr, 86 Sr, 87 Sr, and 88 Sr. Only 87 Sr is radiogenic – produced by the β-decay of 87 Rb with a half-life of 48.8 billion years. The most abundant strontium isotope is 88 Sr, making up approximately 83% of naturally occurring strontium; followed by 10% 86 Sr, 7% 87 Sr and 1% 84 Sr.
Periodic Table--Strontium. The alkali earth metal strontium has four stable, naturally occurring isotopes: 84 Sr (0.56%), 86 Sr (9.86%), 81 Sr (7.0%) and 88 Sr (82.58%). Only 87 Sr is radiogenic; it is produced by decay from the radioactive alkali metal 87 Rb, which has a half-life of 48,800,000 years. Thus, there are two sources of 87 Sr in any material: that formed during primordial nucleo ...

The 87 Sr/ 86 Sr values based on brachiopods and conodonts define a nearly continuous record for the Late Permian and Triassic intervals. Minor gaps in measurements exist only for the uppermost Brahmanian, lower part of the Upper Olenekian, and Middle Norian, and only sparse data are available for the Late Permian. These 219 measurements include 67 brachiopods and 114 conodont samples …

The strontium, oxygen and carbon isotope data will be used to constrain the Devonian isotope curves. Oxygen and carbon isotope data will be discussed in the light of the palaeoclimatic evolution of the Devonian and with respect to potential changes in the Devonian carbon cycle. 2.
