双壳类壳体碳酸盐（文石）稳定同位素组成已被广泛地用于古气候和古环境重建研究中,但是双壳类壳体碳同位素组成所指示的气候和环境意义一直是争议的问题。对双壳类河蚬（corbicula fluminea）进行了室内养殖,并选取两个壳体样品（壳高,A=13mm,B=9mm）,测定其生长部分壳体和生长期间水体碳同位素,研究表明,随着水体碳同位素的升高（δCmc由-5．24‰升至1．41‰）,两壳体碳同位素也随之升高,表明水体对壳体碳同位素的影响;δ13CA分布范围为-4．76‰-2．09‰,δ13CB为-8．49‰-2．89‰,壳体A和B碳同位素均比预测平衡值偏负,表明壳体在形成过程中利用了新陈代谢产生的富集12C的CO2。根据计算壳体A在实验中沉淀部分壳体利用新陈代谢碳的比例（M值）为24％～43％,平均值为33％;壳体B为33％～75％,平均值为58％。肘值随生物的生长呈下降变化,这说明在实验中河蚬主要是通过增加对DIC的吸收和利用来满足壳体生长对物质量增加的需求。 相似文献

地球演化历史中海水的pH值发生了明显变化, 海水pH值可能是控制海相碳酸盐岩能否形成及其成分演化的重要因素, 对了解地球早期白云岩的成因和一些矿产的形成等均有重要指示意义。然而, 记录海洋pH值变化的替代性指标非常稀少, 常用的主要是碳酸盐(岩)的硼同位素。古老碳酸盐的硼同位素往往受到后期地质作用的影响, δ11B-pH转化过程中需要基于多种假设, 硼酸和硼酸根之间的分馏系数(αB)、硼酸表观电离常数(pKB*)以及δ11BSW的不确定性, 使硼同位素分析结果具有多解性、不确定性。亟需多个独立指标对海水pH值进行限制, 碳酸盐(岩)锂同位素是一个潜在的替代性指标, Roberts et al.(2018)发现有孔虫碳酸盐壳体的δ7Li与海水pH值呈显著负相关关系, 认为6Li和7Li水合离子在进入碳酸盐晶格时要脱去溶剂水, 这个过程的去溶能与pH值相关, 导致锂离子进入有孔虫方解石壳体的过程中存在显著的同位素分馏。在对蓟县剖面中—新元古代海相碳酸盐岩碳酸盐相的硼、锂同位素进行研究时发现, 纯净原始碳酸盐岩的锂同位素组成(4.9‰～13.4‰, 平均8.03‰)明显低于现代海洋碳酸盐的锂同位素组成, 中元古以来碳酸盐(岩)的锂同位素组成总体呈上升趋势。纯净原始碳酸盐岩的锂同位素组成与硼同位素组成及海水的pH值(δ11Bsw=25‰)呈明显反相关关系; 硅质条带白云岩的硼、锂同位素组成也呈明显反相关关系, 说明碳酸盐(岩)的锂同位素确实有可能成为一种潜在的pH值替代性指标。若碳酸盐(岩)锂同位素可以对海水pH值施加独立约束, 那硼、锂同位素联合研究将对重建古海洋的pH值演化具有重大意义。 相似文献

为了揭示蜗牛化石壳体碳酸盐（文石）稳定同位素组成的古气候和古生态环境指示意义,对采集于河南荥阳邙山末次冰期黄土剖面上部中的粉华蜗牛（Cathaica pulveratrix）化石壳体碳酸盐进行了碳、氧稳定同位素分析,同时还对全岩有机物质（SOM）碳同位素组成以及全岩磁化率和粒度等气候替代指标进行分析,结果显示：剖面中反映蜗牛食物碳同位素组成的壳体δ13CSSA的变化,与反映古植被碳同位素组成的全岩有机物质碳同位素组成（δ13CSOM）无显著的相关关系,但是壳体13C相对于SOM的富集程度（Δδ13CSSA-SOM）的变化与石笋氧同位素记录的末次冰期东亚夏季风强度演化同步一致; 壳体δ18OSSA的变化不但与黄土磁化率、粒度等气候替代指标变化具有显著相关性,同样也与末次冰期东亚夏季风强度演化同步一致。这些特征,一方面说明受季风环流控制的气候温湿程度变化左右蜗牛夏季活动的几率和食物的类型,干冷气候条件下,相对温湿夏季成为蜗牛活动主要时期,相对富集13C苔藓、菌类和植物可能是蜗牛的主要食物; 另一方面暗示蜗牛化石壳体碳酸盐稳定同位素组成能够指示气候温湿程度和生态环境的变化。 相似文献

石笋能重建百年、十年的气候事件,为达到空间高分辨率,对微量碳酸盐的检测提出了更高要求,传统磷酸酸解法的样品用量大(约10 mg)已经无法满足微量样品的分析,而激光探针质谱分析方法需对检测结果进行校正。本文采用KielⅣ-IRMS双路在线分析技术对微量碳酸盐样品的碳、氧同位素进行检测研究其可行性,并以GBW 04405和NBS 19为例研究了不同样品量的碳酸盐标准样品在不同反应时间对同位素分馏的影响。结果表明,由于标准样品所需的反应时间不同,从而导致同位素分馏值的差异。对样品量为4~85μg的标准样品GBW 04405进行检测,δ13C、δ18O测量值分别为0.574‰±0.027‰、-8.519‰±0.065‰,与推荐值0.57‰±0.03‰、-8.49‰±0.14‰基本一致,表明该方法能够满足微量碳酸盐测试的要求。将KielⅣ-IRMS双路在线分析技术与GasbenchⅡ-IRMS检测方法进行对比,对于标准样品GBW 04405,KielⅣ-IRMS所用样品量约为50μg,δ13C、δ18O测量值分别为0.576‰±0.012‰、-8.501‰±0.050‰,GasbenchⅡ-IRMS所用样品量约为140μg,δ13C、δ18O测量值分别为0.569‰±0.034‰、-8.590‰±0.099‰。表明KielⅣ-IRMS方法相比于GasbenchⅡ-IRMS方法所需样品量少,精度高,结果重现性好,该方法在碳酸盐样品的应用上能达到空间高分辨率。 相似文献

在浮游有孔虫壳体稳定同位素及Mg/Ca和Sr/Ca值的相关研究中,人们常因各种原因而选择不同粒径的壳体进行分析测试,而很少注意壳体大小可能导致研究结果的分歧。针对这一问题,本文分析了位于低纬度海区钻孔中不同粒径的Glo-bigerinoides ruber(白色,sensu stricto)和Pulleniatinaobliquiloculata壳体,结果表明G.ruber壳体的δ13C值受壳体大小的影响最为强烈,表现为正相关关系,不同粒径壳体的δ13C绝对平均差值可达0.48‰±0.12‰和0.25‰±0.09‰;P.obliquiloc-ulata400μm与315~400μm和250~315μm壳体Mg/Ca值的差异相当于1.8℃的海水温度;相对而言,G.ruberδ18O和Mg/Ca值以及P.obliquiloculataδ13C受壳体大小的影响较小,但它们的Sr/Ca值与壳体大小的关系不显著。本文推测,壳体大小相同时厚重的壳体可能成壳速度较快,相对优先吸收轻的同位素,且壳体Mg/Ca值可能更接近周围海水的水平。据此,本文认为较大个体P.obliquiloculata的壳体分泌可能与周围海水达到了平衡分馏。 相似文献

以往对于土壤碳酸盐根茎体(CR)的形态和碳同位素分析表明其具有纯的生物成因源的特征,被用于指示不同大陆的高分辨率气候变化.为此,本研究选取了位于黄土高原中部的西峰和洛川黄土-古土壤序列,分别采集65个和22个样品.通过湿筛法(80目)分离后,在显微镜下通过细针挑选出根茎体样品进行碳同位素(δ13CCR)的分析,并将结果与总有机质碳同位素(δ13CTOC)、总无机碳酸盐碳同位素(δ13CTIC)、总有机碳含量(TOC％)和磁化率(MS)等多指标进行对比分析.结果表明:西峰剖面的土壤碳酸盐根茎体δ13CCR值的变化范围为-8.6‰～-3.7‰,δ13CTOC值的变化范围为-23.68‰-19.47‰,δ13CTIC值的变化范围为-8.65‰～-4.95‰;洛川剖面的土壤δ13CCR值的变化范围为-8.30‰-3.58‰,δ13CTOC值的变化范围为-23.28‰～-18.72‰,δ13CTIC值的变化范围为-8.50‰ ～-3.78‰;两个剖面末次冰期以来的δ13CCR均没有完全响应MS,TOC和δ13CTOC的变化趋势,表现为在So呈现相反的变化趋势,在L1呈现相似的变化趋势;而与δ13CTIC值在冰期-间冰期尺度上呈现一致的变化趋势和幅度.该结果表明西峰、洛川剖面碳酸盐根茎体碳同位素类似于总无机碳酸盐碳同位素,其影响因素可能较为复杂(如碳酸盐的淋溶迁移、植被的影响、原生碳酸盐等复杂因素的影响),特别是淋滤深度的不确定性.因此,在独立使用黄土碳酸盐根茎体δ13CCR值来重建该地区的古植被(C4/C3)变化信息时要慎重. 相似文献

陆生蜗牛壳体碳酸盐氧同位素组成,理论上取决于壳体生长季节的降水 18O丰度、温度和湿度,对揭示古气候和古环境变化具有巨大的潜力。然而,同一地区不同属种的蜗牛生长季节存在一定的差异,因此,了解不同季节生长的蜗牛壳体氧同位素特征,是其成为重建古气候、古环境变化的工具的关键。为了进一步阐明降水氧同位素组成和气候月际变化对蜗牛壳体 18O的影响,分别对从江苏镇江逐月采集的现生细纹灰尖巴蜗牛(Bradybaena ravida redfieldi)进行了整体壳体及壳口文石氧同位素组成的分析,结果表明： 1)不同月份采集的样品壳口的 δ18O 值变化较大,从－1.92‰至－6.79‰,幅度达4.87‰,其中,4～6月采集的样品 δ18O 值较正,平均 －2.40±0.42‰,7～9月采集的样品明显偏负,平均 －6.41±0.34‰; 2)整个壳体的 δ18O 值差别不大,平均 －2.61±0.47‰,与 4～6月壳口 δ18O 平均值相近; 3)不同月份蜗牛壳口 δ18O 值呈现出与当地的降水氧同位素组成、温度和大气相对湿度等相似的季节性变化模式,其中降水氧同位素组成对壳口 δ18O 变化的影响是主要的。这些特征说明,蜗牛壳体碳酸盐氧同位素组成受其生长时的环境因素(降水 18O丰度,温度和相对湿度)控制,对于中国夏季风影响地区来说,春季生长的蜗牛壳体相对富集 18O,而夏季生长的壳体 18O相对贫化。换句话说,根据蜗牛壳体碳酸盐氧同位素组成能够推测壳体主要生长季节,或降水 18O丰度及气候温湿程度的特征。对于B.ravida redfieldi来说,氧同位素组成显示了壳体主要生长时期为春季的特征。 相似文献

碳、氧同位素作为反映古沉积环境、成矿物源和水–岩反应等良好的稳定同位素指标,被广泛应用。通过对老挝龙湖钾盐矿区ZK309、ZK301、ZK311和ZK004四个钻孔农波组盐岩上覆泥岩碳、氧同位素组成的分析,讨论了盐岩上覆泥岩沉积的碳、氧同位素组成变化特征及其指示的沉积环境。经分析,所测碳、氧同位素基本代表了碳酸盐碳、氧同位素组成,初步推测这些碳酸盐均为当地自生,受后期改变很少,δ13C和δ18O平均值分别为-5.1‰和-4.6‰,其中δ13C值略高于一般陆相碳酸盐碳同位素最大值–5.69‰,δ18O值介于–2.71‰~–10.8‰之间,ZK309和ZK301钻孔碳、氧同位素相关系数均小于0.7,初步指示盐岩沉积之后沉积环境为陆相。δ13C值略高于–5.69‰,推测是后期盐岩层被淋滤,泥岩层受淋滤后的残余卤水影响的结果,这也解释了蒸发岩沉积层序异常(钾石盐覆盖于光卤石之上)的沉积特征。因此,在本研究中,大气水在泥岩碳、氧同位素的变化中扮演了重要角色。 相似文献

Water temperature, oxygen isotope composition and the δ13C of dissolved inorganic carbon were measured in 2 southern Michigan rivers, the Huron River and Fleming Creek, between late September 1990 and June 1992. The final full year of shell growth in 3 unionids collected in 1992 from these rivers was sampled for stable isotope analysis with a resolution of 30 μm. The δ18O of both shell nacre and the prismatic layer is accurately predicted by a fractionation relationship developed for biogenic aragonite. High resolution sampling of 3 species and bulk sampling of 3 other species suggest that all unionids adhere to this oxygen isotope fractionation relationship. This relationship is used to show that shell growth ceases below approximately 12°C. In these 2 settings the average δ18O value of shell (PDB scale) is within 0.5‰ of the average δ18O of river water (SMOW scale). Unionids can therefore be used in oxygen-isotope-based paleoclimatic and paleohydrologic reconstructions. In contrast, the carbon isotope ratio of shell is not accurately predicted by published fractionation factors between D.I.C. and carbonate. Shell δ13C is more negative than predicted values and the offset is highly variable suggesting a significant and variable incorporation of metabolic carbon into the shell carbonate. 相似文献

不同立地条件下胡杨叶片稳定碳同位素组成及水分利用效率的变化 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
研究了黑河流域下游额济纳荒漠河岸不同立地条件下胡杨(Populus euphratica Olivier)叶片稳定碳同位素组成及水分利用效率的变化特征. 结果表明: 5个典型样地中, 胡杨叶片δ13C值在(-25.80～±0.05)‰～(-29.19～±0.05)‰间变化, 均值为(-27.70～±0.13)‰; 就生长季胡杨叶片δ13C均值而言, 沙丘样地具有最高的δ13C值, 其次为戈壁样地, 最低值出现在河岸低地. 样地间δ13C值的差异主要是由样地间土壤含水量和地下水埋深的不同导致的; 整个生长季胡杨叶片δ13C值在样地间表现为2种变化趋势. 5个典型样地生长季胡杨水分利用效率在(60.41±0.47)～(95.46±0.47) μmolCO2·(mmolH2O)-1间波动变化, 其平均值为(75.69±1.37) μmolCO2·(mmol H2O)-1, 从水分利用效率波动范围和平均值可以看出, 胡杨是个具有高水分利用效率的物种. 从河岸低地到河岸沙堆再到戈壁、沙丘, 随着土壤含水量逐渐下降, 地下水埋深逐渐加深, 胡杨逐渐提高了其水分利用效率. 相似文献

祁连山青海云杉叶片δ~(13)C特征及其与生理指标关系 总被引：3，自引：2，他引：1
以祁连山青海云杉叶片为研究对象,通过测定叶片稳定碳同位素比率(δ13C)、叶片含水量(LWC)、脯氨酸含量、灰分含量、碳含量、氮含量、碳氮比、土壤含水量(SWC)等指标,探讨不同水分梯度下叶片δ13C的控制因子.结果表明,祁连山青海云杉叶片δ13C值在-28.9‰～-25.4‰之间变化,平均值为-27.3‰.沿河西走廊从东到西的干旱梯度(降水量逐渐减少),叶片δ13C表现出偏正的趋势.叶片δ13C与LWC和脯氨酸含量呈显著正相关关系,与灰分含量、SWC显著负相关.叶片δ13C值在青海云杉种内分布稳定,主要是由自身的遗传特性所决定,同时与生长环境条件也有一定的关系,其中土壤可利用水分是最主要的限制因子.叶片灰分含量是δ13C值的可选择性替代指标. 相似文献

研究海相碳酸盐岩的碳和氧同位素已有三十多年,积累了数千个数据,其目的在于研究古海洋碳和氧同位素的演变。在此期间,一部分研究者认为,海相碳酸盐岩的δ13C值在0±2范围内变化,未表现出与地质时代相关的变化趋势(Clayton和Degens,1959;Degens和Epstein,1962;Keith和Weber,1964;Galimov,1965;Becker和Clayton,1972;Schidlowski等,1975)。但是,另一些学者,如Jeffery等(1955),Baertschi(1975),Compston(1960),Weber(1967),Garrels和Parry(1974)却认为,海相碳酸盐岩的δ13C值随地质时代而有规律地变化。 相似文献

This study was conducted on recent desert samples—including (1) soils, (2) plants, (3) the shell, and (4) organic matter from modern specimens of the land snail Eremina desertorum—which were collected at several altitudes (316–360 m above sea level) from a site in the New Cairo Petrified Forest. The soils and shellE. desertorum were analyzed for carbonate composition and isotopic composition (δ18O, δ13C). The plants and organic matterE. desertorum were analyzed for organic carbon content and δ13C. The soil carbonate, consisting of calcite plus minor dolomite, has δ18O values from −3.19 to −1.78‰ and δ13C values −1.79 to −0.27‰; covariance between the two values accords with arid climatic conditions. The local plants include C3 and C4 types, with the latter being dominant. Each type has distinctive bulk organic carbon δ13C values: −26.51 to −25.36‰ for C3-type, and −13.74 to −12.43‰ for C4-type plants.The carbonate of the shellE. desertorum is composed of aragonite plus minor calcite, with relatively homogenous isotopic compositions (δ18Omean = −0.28 ± 0.22‰; δ13Cmean = −4.46 ± 0.58‰). Most of the δ18O values (based on a model for oxygen isotope fractionation in an aragonite-water system) are consistent with evaporated water signatures. The organic matterE. desertorum varies only slightly in bulk organic carbon δ13C values (−21.78 ± 1.20‰) and these values suggest that the snail consumed more of C3-type than C4-type plants. The overall offset in δ13C values (−17.32‰) observed between shellE. desertorum carbonate and organic matterE. desertorum exceeds the value expected for vegetation input, and implies that 30% of carbon in the shellE. desertorum carbonate comes from the consumption of limestone material. 相似文献

The first data are reported on the carbon isotopic composition of diamond crystals from the Grib pipe kimberlite deposit of the Archangelsk diamond province (ADP). The δ13C value of the crystals ranges from ?2.79 to ?9.61‰. The isotopic composition of carbon was determined in three zoned crystals (δ13C of ?5.8 ?6.96 ‰, ?5.64/ ?5.85 ‰, and ?5.94/ ?5.69 ‰), two “diamond in diamond” samples (diamond inclusion with δ13C of ?4.05 and ?6.34 ‰ in host diamond crystals with δ13C of ?8.05 and ?7.54 ‰, respectively), and two samples of coated diamonds (cores with δ13C of ?6.98 and ?6.78‰ and coats with δ13C of ?7.51 and ?8.01 ‰, respectively). δ13C values were obtained for individual diamond crystals from bort-type aggregates (δ13C of ?4.24/ ?4.05 ‰, ?6.58/ ?7.48 ‰, and ?5.48/ ?6.08 ‰). Correlations were examined between the carbon isotopic composition of diamonds and their crystal morphology; the color; the concentration of nitrogen, hydrogen, and platelet defects; and mineral inclusions content. It was supposed that the observed δ13C variations in the crystals are most likely related to the fractionation of carbon isotopes rather than to the heterogeneity of carbon sources involved in diamond formation. The isotopic characteristics of diamonds from the Grib pipe were compared with those of previously investigated diamonds from the Lomonosov deposit. It was found that diamonds from these relatively closely spaced kimberlite fields are different; this also indicates the existence of spatially localized peculiarities of isotope fractionation in processes accompanying diamond formation. 相似文献

C and O isotope composition of Middle-Upper Miocene and Lower Pliocene carbonates from Kerch-Taman Region (Eastern Paratethys) have been studied in order to reconstruct palaeoenvironmental variability and post-sedimentation changes. The δ13C and δ18О values of the Upper Sarmatian to Lower Pliocene organogenic carbonates reflect the desalinization of paleobasins, global Late Miocene Cooling, and increase in seasonal temperature fluctuations. Isotopic composition of the Middle Sarmatian organogenic carbonates was strongly influenced by evaporation processes, high bioproductivity, and local submarine methane emissions. Warm climate and low bioproductivity together with unstable hydrological regime during the Late Chokrakian and the Karaganian times influenced the isotope composition of primary carbonates. Calcite shell of Spiratella sp. (δ13C =–0.4‰ and δ18О =–0.4‰) from Tarkhanian sediments was formed in warm marine environment. Dolomitization prevails over other secondary mineralization in the studied carbonate rocks. Two groups of secondary dolomites that are characterized by negative and positive δ13C values have been recognized. Lowe δ13C values (up to–31.4‰) in dolomites indicate the influence of both dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) from oxidized organic matter (Сorg) and methane. Dolomites with positive δ13C values (7.0 and 7.8‰) associat with migration of CO2- and CH4-containing saline groundwater. 相似文献

依据实测的塔里木盆地麦盖提斜坡玉北地区41个碳酸盐岩碳氧同位素数据,结合岩石学方法,研究了碳氧同位素的组成、演化及其地质意义。数据显示,δ~(13) C值主要分布在-2.6‰~0.7‰,均值为-1.0‰;δ~(18) O值分布在-9.4‰~-3.5‰,均值为-6.9‰。玉北地区古盐度为118.39~126.34,平均为121.94。奥陶系碳酸盐岩淡水改造作用明显。碳氧同位素的组成和演化不但可以指示沉积环境,而且还与生物生产率以及古海平面变化呈正相关性:δ~(13) C的低值对应于局限台地台内滩亚相沉积环境;δ~(13) C的高值对应于开阔台地滩间海、台内滩亚相沉积环境。碳氧同位素组成还对成岩环境有明显响应:鹰山组δ~(13) C与δ~(18) O均向高负值偏移,表明经历过强烈的表生岩溶作用;蓬莱坝组δ~(13) C低—中负值,δ~(18) O表现为高负值,在白云岩储层中可见鞍状白云石及燧石,主要为深埋藏成岩环境;良里塔格组同位素特征为δ~(18) O高负值,δ~(13) C低正值,并且在进入埋藏岩溶阶段之前还经历过风化壳岩溶作用。 相似文献

The Patom Complex is characterized by a unique association of carbonate rocks with ultralow (≤8‰) and ultrahigh (>6‰) δ13C values. The thickness, stable isotopic composition along the strike, and lithological and geochemical parameters suggest that these rocks could not form as a result of short-term local events or epigenetic processes. Ultralow δ13C values (less than ?8‰) in carbonate rocks of the Zhuya Group, which substantially exceed all the known negative C isotope anomalies in thickness (up to 1000 m) and amplitude (δ13C = ?10 ± 2‰), point to sedimentation under conditions of extreme “contamination” of water column by oxidized isotopically light organic (hereafter, light) carbon. The decisive role in this contamination belonged to melting and oxidation of huge volumes of methane hydrates accumulated in sediments during the powerful and prolonged Early Vendian glacial epoch. The accumulation of δ13C-depleted carbonates was preceded by the deposition of carbonates with anomalously high δ13C values. These carbonates formed at high rates of the burial of organic matter and methane in sediments during periods when the sedimentation basin consumed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and organic carbon was conserved in sediments. 相似文献

Purbeckian (lowermost Cretaceous) peritidal carbonates are characterized by open marine, lagoonal, intertidal and lacustrine facies arranged in Milankovitch-type shallowing upward sequences. Shallowing upward sequences typically consist of 2–6 individual beds. The sequences may be (i) complete, (ii) incomplete or (ii) pedogenetically overprinted, reflecting the duration of subaerial exposure and/or the extent of erosion and pedogenetic modification at the cycle tops. The stable isotopic composition of the peritidal micrites reveals homogenous δ18O values attributed to diagenetic stabilization in a meteoric, water-buffered system. Carbon isotopes show three distinctly different carbon isotope patterns dependent on the completeness of the shallowing upward sequences. Complete shallowing upward sequences consist of 4–6 individual carbonate beds. The carbon isotope values show a facies-dependent pattern: open marine carbonate muds record enriched δ13C values of +0·28‰ while lagoonal (−0·82‰), intertidal (−2·46‰) and lacustrine micrites (−2·96‰) are increasingly depleted. This distinct pattern is explained by carbonate mud deposition in environments of differing salinity and marine influence. Incomplete sequences (2–5 carbonate beds) are characterized by depleted δ13C values below subaerial exposure surfaces that become progressively enriched in 13C with increasing depth. Pedogenetically overprinted sequences (1–3 carbonate beds) show strong 13C depletion throughout the sequence with little variation in the carbon isotopic composition. The depleted values (−4·5‰) of the pedogenetically altered micrites suggest that modification during subaerial exposure was associated with equilibration with meteoric solutions enriched in isotopically light soil gas CO2. The duration of subaerial exposure is the most crucial factor determining the extent of pedogenetic alterations, the completeness of the shallowing upward sequences and the carbon isotope pattern. The recorded patterns clearly illustrate that micrites have a good potential for the preservation of their primary carbon isotopic composition if the duration of subaerial exposure is rather brief. Otherwise, the recorded carbon isotope patterns may support sequence stratigraphic analysis by providing a refinement of the time-stratigraphic interpretation. 相似文献
