Carbon isotopes in clastic rocks and the Neoproterozoic carbon cycle [PDF]
It has been proposed that isotopically light inorganic carbon precipitated diagenetically in clastic sediments can explain the large carbon isotopic excursions recorded in Neoproterozoic carbonates. To date, however, the data needed to test this hypothesis have been limited. Here we report the analysis of ca.

An Isotope of Carbon, Mass 13 [PDF]
THE bands belonging to the Swan spectrum of carbon appear in the vacuum electric furnace at about 2400° C. At temperatures above 2600° they are strong and clear-cut, even the band at λ6191, difficult to obtain in the carbon arc, being well defined. It has been noted by one of us, during a variety of electric furnace investigations, that plates on which

Laser ablation molecular isotopic spectrometry of carbon isotopes [PDF]
Abstract Quantitative determination of carbon isotopes using Laser Ablation Molecular Isotopic Spectrometry (LAMIS) is described. Optical emission of diatomic molecules CN and C2 is used in these measurements. Two quantification approaches are presented: empirical calibration of spectra using a set of reference standards and numerical fitting of a ...

Use of stable isotopes, organic and inorganic chemistry to identify pollution sources and weathering processes in two small tropical rivers in southwestern India [PDF]
The two main objectives of this study were to assess pollution dynamic from organic and inorganic major ion chemistry and stable isotopes (δ15N and δ18O) and to determine the weathering processes using carbon isotopes in two tropical river basins, i.e ...

The Giant Pairing Vibration in Carbon isotopes [PDF]
The (13)C((18)O,(16)O)(15)C and (12)C((18)O,(16)O)(14)C reactions at 84 MeV incident energy were explored up to high excitation energy of the residual nucleus thanks to the use of the MAGNEX spectrometer to detect the ejectiles. In the region above the two-neutron separation energy, a resonance has been observed in both nuclei, attributed to the Giant ...

Chemostratigraphy of Neoproterozoic carbonates: implications for 'blind dating' [PDF]
The delta C-13(carb) and Sr-87/Sr-86 secular variations in Neoproteozoic seawater have been used for the purpose of 'isotope stratigraphy' but there are a number of problems that can preclude its routine use.

Determining trophic niche width: a novel approach using stable isotope analysis [PDF]
1. Although conceptually robust, it has proven difficult to find practical measures of niche width that are simple to obtain, yet provide an adequate descriptor of the ecological position of the population examined. 2.

Locations of marine animals revealed by carbon isotopes [PDF]
Knowing the distribution of marine animals is central to understanding climatic and other environmental influences on population ecology. This information has proven difficult to gain through capture-based methods biased by capture location. Here we show
