Trans-Atlantic application of the Baltic Middle and Upper Ordovician carbon isotope zonation [PDF]
Application of the recently introduced Baltic d13C isotope zonation to a composite North American Darriwilian through Hirnantian succession shows that in most intervals there is good trans-Atlantic agreement not only between the isotope zones but also ...

Current chemostratigraphical studies of the Jurassic System primarily involve the use of one sedimentary component (marine organic carbon), one divalent transition metal substituted in carbonate (manganese), and two isotopic tracers: strontium-isotope ratios ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) and carbon-isotope

ABSTRACT Following the largest known Phanerozoic extinction, the end‐Permian mass extinction, the Early Triassic is often considered an interval of slow biotic recovery. During this time, the minor Smithian‐Spathian extinction occurred, further delaying the biotic recovery of this epoch.

High‐Resolution Anisian Marine Perturbation by Volcanism in the Eastern Paleo‐Tethys
Abstract Following the end‐Permian mass extinction, the Middle Triassic Anisian Stage was still characterized by environmental perturbations that hindered biological flourishing, yet it remains uncertain whether these persistent Tethyan disturbances were coupled with the closure of the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean.

Local and Global Controls on Carbon Isotope Chemostratigraphy
Over million-year timescales, the geologic cycling of carbon controls long-term climate and the oxidation of Earth's surface. Inferences about the carbon cycle can be made from time series of carbon isotopic ratios measured from sedimentary rocks. The foundational assumption for carbon isotope chemostratigraphy is that carbon isotope values reflect ...

Chemostratigraphic analyses of legacy and late Holocene, presettlement deposits, Upper Stick Elliott Creek, North Carolina [PDF]
Chemostratigraphy is a technique that defines and spatially correlates stratigraphic units using subtle variations in the elemental composition of the sediments.

Metals such as Pb, Zn, Cd and Cu from historical mining activity have been used as stratigraphic markers for dating and provenancing vertically accreted, fine-grained floodplain overbank deposits.

Abstract The Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg) Chicxulub impact produced globally synchronous enrichments of highly siderophile elements (HSEs) and a pronounced decline in marine osmium isotope ratios (187Os/188Os), forming a key geochemical marker of the boundary.

Map of Lower sediment (LS) thickness is a surrogate for the distribution of Thorncliffe Formation (TF) and ~75% of TF thickness from the slope of Niagara Escarpment east to Brighton. Inset images show the LS sequence at the Don Valleys brickyards (DVBY) and undeformed TF sand and gravel (~15 m) below Newmarket Till (NT) at sites L and Co.

Chemostratigraphy in southern Ontario by pXRF spectrometry
For groundwater studies, the collection of sediment geochemistry is often beyond the scope, and budget of many programs, and is generally not included as part of routine data collection. Portable x-ray fluorescence spectrometer (pXRF) has proven to be a successful tool to characterize the chemostratigraphy of glacial derived materials collected from ...
