This study presents two matrix‐matched reference materials developed for petroleum Re‐Os measurements. We present the Re and Os mass fractions and ¹⁸⁷Re/¹⁸⁸Os and ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os values (ratio of the number of atoms of the isotopes) for repeatedly measured aliquots (ca. 120–150 mg test portions) of the NIST Research Material 8505 (RM 8505) crude oil, and its asphaltene and maltene fractions, and ~ 90 g of homogeneous asphaltene powder isolated from this oil. Measurements were performed using the Carius tube‐isotope dilution negative‐thermal ionisation mass spectrometry methodology. The RM 8505 crude oil contains 1.98 ± 0.07 ng g^?1 Re and 25.0 ± 1.1 pg g^?1 Os, with Re‐Os isotope amount ratios of 452 ± 6 for ¹⁸⁷Re/¹⁸⁸Os and 1.51 ± 0.01 for ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os (n = 20, 95% conf.). The homogeneous asphaltene sample contains 16.52 ± 0.10 ng g^?1 Re and 166.0 ± 0.9 pg g^?1 total Os, and possesses isotope amount ratios of 574 ± 3 for ¹⁸⁷Re/¹⁸⁸Os and 1.64 ± 0.01 for ¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os (n = 24, 95% conf.). The intermediate precision of these data makes the RM 8505 whole oil and the (~ 90 g) homogenised asphaltene appropriate petroleum matrix‐matched reference materials for Re‐Os measurements. The asphaltene fraction of the oil is the main carrier of Re and Os of the RM 8505 whole oil, and caution is suggested in using asphaltene and maltene fractions of a single oil for Re‐Os geochronology.  相似文献   

Albany K-Feldspar: A New Pb Isotope Reference Material

Lead isotopes are a powerful and versatile tool to elucidate fundamental geological problems related to the formation and evolution of continental crust. K-feldspar is a popular target for Pb isotope measurement as it is prevalent in many rock types and tends to capture the initial Pb isotope composition of its parental magma. We present data for a new Pb isotope reference material: Albany K-feldspar; as well as updated data for Shap K-feldspar. Results of Pb double-spike TIMS for Albany K-feldspar are ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 16.7872 ± 0.0062, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 15.5640 ± 0.0056, and ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁴Pb = 36.6600 ± 0.0168 (2s). TIMS measurement results for Shap K-feldspar indicate two isotopically distinct Pb populations. LA-MC-ICP-MS, with a spatial resolution as high as 15 μm, indicates a homogeneous Pb isotopic composition in Albany K-feldspar. In accord with previous studies, our results show that scatter in the measured Pb isotope ratios, related to the low natural isotopic abundance of ²⁰⁴Pb, along with the effect of isobaric ²⁰⁴Hg-²⁰⁴Pb interference, increases at lower count rates. However, the mean Pb isotope ratios measured via LA-MC-ICP-MS using a range of spot sizes are in excellent agreement with TIMS results thus highlighting the feasibility of Pb isotope determination via LA-MC-ICP-MS to access geological information preserved in small crystals, including mineral inclusions.  相似文献   

Comprehensive Chemical and Isotopic Analyses of Basalt and Sediment Reference Materials   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Geochemical studies of geological samples require the precise determination of their major and trace element contents and, when measured, of their isotopic compositions. It is now commonly accepted that the accuracy and precision of geochemical analyses are best estimated by the concomitant analysis of international reference materials run as unknown samples. Although the composition of a wide selection of basalts is relatively well constrained, this is far from being the case for sedimentary materials. We present here a comprehensive set of major and trace element data as well as Nd, Hf, Sr and Pb isotopic compositions for thirteen commonly used international reference materials – eight magmatic rocks (BHVO‐2, BR, BE‐N, BR 24, AGV‐1, BIR‐1, UB‐N, RGM‐1) and five sediments (JLk‐1, JSd‐1, JSd‐2, JSd‐3, LKSD‐1). We determined the concentrations of over forty elements in the magmatic rocks together with Sr, Nd, Hf and Pb isotopic compositions. Our trace element results were both accurate (difference ≤ 3%) and precise (reproducibility at 1s ≤ 3%) and the isotopic results were very similar to other published values. In contrast, we observed a significant chemical and isotopic variability in the sedimentary materials, which we attribute to mineral heterogeneities in the powders. Despite the limitation imposed by this heterogeneity, our work presents a complete set of data determined with a precision not yet achieved in the literature for sedimentary material. We also provide the first Nd, Hf and Pb isotopic measurements for the five sediments, which are commonly used by the geochemical community. Our study of both basalt and sediment reference materials represents a comprehensive and self‐consistent set of geochemical data and can therefore be considered as a reference database for the community.  相似文献   

中-浅正变质岩锆石SHRIMP法与TIMS法测年结果不一致处理——以滇东南南温河花岗岩为例   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

变质岩中的锆石大多遭受变质热事件的改造,但中-浅变质岩一般不甚发育新生锆石或变质增生边,不易通过现有的锆石测年技术获得该岩石的变质年龄。中-浅正变质岩的锆石为岩浆锆石与变质增生锆石的混合物,其U-Pb同位素组成可以采用二端元混合模式来表达。利用同位素稀释法(TIMS)可以获得混合锆石U-Pb年龄及对应的同位素组成;结合CL等内部结构分析,利用离子探针法(SHRIMP)可以获得岩浆锆石U-Pb年龄及对应的同位素组成,进而推算出变质增生锆石U-Pb年龄对应的同位素组成。在对滇东南南温河花岗岩锆石U-Pb年代学的研究中,我们发现同一样品的SHRIMP与TIMS U-Pb法测年结果不一致,根据上式推算出后期主变质年龄约为230 Ma,与前人利用其它测年方法获得的结果基本一致,符合研究区主变质期为印支期的区域地质背景。该方法为中-浅正变质岩年代学研究提供了一种新思路。  相似文献   

TIMS measurements of Ra and Ra in the Gulf of Lion, an attempt to quantify submarine groundwater discharge     

Patrick Ollivier  Christelle Claude  Olivier Radakovitch  Bruno Hamelin 《Marine Chemistry》2008,109(3-4):337

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is now recognized as an important pathway for water and chemical species fluxes to the coastal ocean. In order to determinate SGD to the Gulf of Lion (France), we measured the activities of ²²⁶Ra and ²²⁸Ra by thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) in coastal waters and in the deep aquifer waters of the Rhone deltaic plain after pre-concentration of radium by MnO₂. Compared to conventional counting techniques, TIMS requires lower quantities of water for the analyses, and leads to higher analytical precision. Radium isotopes were thus measured on 0.25–2 L water samples containing as little as 20 fg of ²²⁶Ra and 0.2–0.4 fg of ²²⁸Ra with precision equal to 2%. We demonstrate that coastal surface waters samples are enriched in ²²⁶Ra and ²²⁸Ra compared to the samples further offshore. The high precision radium measurements display a small but significant ²²⁶Ra and ²²⁸Ra enrichment within a strip of circa 30 km from the coast. Radium activities decrease beyond this region, entrained in the northern current along the shelf break or controlled by eddy diffusion. The radium excess in the first 30 km cannot be accounted for by the river nor by the early diagenesis. The primary source of the radium enrichment must therefore be ascribed to the discharge of submarine groundwater. Using a mass-balance model, we estimated the advective fluxes of ²²⁶Ra and ²²⁸Ra through SGD to be 5.2 × 10¹⁰ and 21 × 10¹⁰ dpm/d respectively. The ²²⁶Ra activities measured in the groundwater from the Rhone deltaic plain aquifer are comparable to those from other coastal groundwater studies throughout the world. By contrast, ²²⁸Ra activities are higher by up to one order of magnitude. Taking those groundwater radium activities as typical of the submarine groundwater end-member, a minimum volume of 0.24–4.5 × 10¹⁰ l/d is required to support the excess radium isotopes on the inner shelf. This has to be compared with the average rivers water runoff of 15.4 × 10¹⁰ l/d during the study period (1.6 to 29% of the river flow).  相似文献

U–Pb baddeleyite ages linking major Archean dyke swarms to volcanic-rift forming events in the Kaapvaal craton (South Africa), and a precise age for the Bushveld Complex     

J.R. Olsson  U. Söderlund  M.B. Klausen  R.E. Ernst 《Precambrian Research》2010

The Archean basement in the northeastern part of the Kaapvaal craton is intruded by a large number of mafic dykes, defining three major dyke swarms, which collectively appear to fan out from the Bushveld Complex. Herein we present U–Pb baddeleyite ages for two of these dyke swarms, the northwest trending Badplaas Dyke Swarm and the east-west trending Rykoppies Dyke Swarm, and infer their correlation with tectonic events in the Kaapvaal craton. We also present a U–Pb baddeleyite age for a noritic phase of the Marginal Zone of the Rustenburg Layered Suite (Bushveld Complex).  相似文献   

GGR Critical Review of Analytical Developments in 2008–2009: An Introduction     

Janet M. Hergt  Ricardo Arevalo Jr  L. Paul Bèdard  Jeremy Bellucci  Jacinta Enzweiler  Klaus Peter Jochum  Kathryn L. Linge  William F. McDonough  Regina Mertz-Kraus  Michael Wiedenbeck  Xiaohong Wang  Jon D. Woodhead 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》2010,34(4):325-326

This collection of articles represents the fourth in a series of reviews in which authors have aimed at capturing the key advances in a range of analytical fields ( Hergt et al. 2005, 2006, 2008 ). The publication period under review is 2008–2009 and the intention here is to provide readers with a summary of the most influential developments published during this period, across a broad range of topics appropriate to the Earth and environmental sciences. Most authors comment on the ways in which the emphases of research in their specific fields of examination have changed over time. All note an increase in rigour and focus on data quality. Whether advances have taken place in instrumentation, sample manipulation or data deconvolution, there are a large number of dedicated scientists out there contributing to the high quality of geochemical data employed in geological and environmental research.  相似文献   

Recent TIMS dating results from British Late Pleistocene vertebrate faunal localities: context and interpretation     

Mabs Gilmour  Andy Currant  Roger Jacobi  Chris Stringer 《第四纪科学杂志》2007,22(8):793-800

New TIMS dates from British sites underpin and extend the growing model of mammalian faunal history during the Late Pleistocene. The sequence of British faunas during the three successive warm phases of MIS 5 presents a challenging model in which the mammal faunas of the first two temperate phases, 5e and 5c is dominated by species of a classically interglacial character, while that of the final phase, sub‐stage 5a, is dominated by bison and reindeer. This we see as the ‘cold fauna’ appearing in Britain during the cool isotope sub‐stage 5b and subsequently isolated by the rising sea level of isotope sub‐stage 5a. All these three faunas are true island faunas. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Continental margin magmatism and migmatisation in the west-central Fennoscandian Shield     

Karin Hgdahl  Hkan Sjstrm  Ulf B. Andersson  Martin Ahl 《Lithos》2008,102(3-4):435-459

The Ljusdal Batholith (LjB) is a major component of the central Svecofennian Domain in Sweden. It is separated from the Bothnian Basin to the north by the 1.82–1.80 Ga crustal-scale Hassela Shear Zone (HSZ). The LjB has emplacement ages of 1.86–1.84 Ga, is mainly alkali-calcic, metaluminous, has _Nd values between − 0.3 and + 1.2 and was formed in a magmatic arc setting.

During the Svecokarelian orogeny the LjB was affected by at least three fold episodes. Large-scale folded screens of migmatised metasedimentary rocks occur in the eastern part of the batholith, and to the north of the HSZ, there is a 50 km wide diatexite belt. The Transition Belt (TrB), consisting of 1.88–1.85 Ga granitoids, is located at the northwestern extension of this belt. A calc-alkaline and peraluminous composition combined with negative _Nd values (− 1.7 to − 0.8) indicates a large proportion of metasediments in the source for these granitoids.

U–Pb SIMS data on zircon rims from migmatites and leucogranites to the north and east of LjB yield ages of 1.87–1.86 Ga, i.e. coeval with the granitoids of the LjB and the TrB. There is thus a close relationship between the LjB, the TrB and the migmatites in both space and time. Syn-migmatitic shearing along the HSZ indicates that a proto-HSZ was initiated already at c. 1.86 Ga, and the location of the proto-HSZ is inferred to be controlled by two older nuclei present in the lower parts of the crust. As crustal-scale shear zone systems are known to act as ascent pathways for sheet-like flow in active orogenies the TrB may represents accumulations of melts that were attracted and extracted by the proto-HSZ and intruded in a block that was not pervasively affected by subsequent shear along the HSZ.

An active continental margin setting for the LjB implies subduction at c. 1.86 Ga, and provides a heat source for both the migmatites and the TrB.

A later migmatisation at 1.82 Ga has been recorded to the south of the HSZ. Within the LjB the 1.82 Ga stromatic migmatites are folded by F₂ folds, and the fabric is truncated by 1.80 Ga pegmatites.  相似文献
