The oxic degradation of sedimentary organic matter 1400 Ma constrains atmospheric oxygen levels [PDF]
We studied sediments from the ca. 1400 million-year-old Xiamaling Formation from the North China block. The upper unit of this formation (unit 1) deposited mostly below storm wave base and contains alternating black and green-gray shales with very ...

A new type of solar-system material recovered from Ordovician marine limestone
Meteorites falling on Earth today are believed to represent 100–150 parent bodies. Within 470 Myr ago sediments at a limestone quarry in Sweden, Schmitz et al.

NEUTRON-RICH CHROMIUM ISOTOPE ANOMALIES IN SUPERNOVA NANOPARTICLES [PDF]
Neutron-rich isotopes with masses near that of iron are produced in type Ia and II supernovae. Traces of such nucleosynthesis are found in primitive meteorites in the form of variations in the isotopic abundance of 54Cr, the most neutron-rich stable isotope of chromium. The hosts of these isotopic anomalies must be presolar grains that condensed in the

Discovery of chromium, manganese, nickel, and copper isotopes [PDF]
Twenty-seven chromium, twenty-five manganese, thirty-one nickel and twenty-six copper isotopes have so far been observed and the discovery of these isotopes is discussed. For each isotope a brief synopsis of the first refereed publication, including the production and identification method, is presented.

Chromium isotopic composition of core‐top planktonic foraminifera
AbstractThe chromium isotope system (53Cr/52Cr expressed as δ53Cr relative to NIST SRM 979) is potentially a powerful proxy for the redox state of the ocean–atmosphere system, but a lack of temporally continuous, well‐calibrated archives has limited its application to date. Marine carbonates could potentially serve as a common and continuous Cr isotope

Investigating nuclear deformation and longitudinal form factors in some fp-shell nuclei using the shell model and Hartree - Fock approximation [PDF]
The current study examined the nuclear deformation of certain Titanium and Chromium isotopes using the shell model and Hartree - Fock approximation within the fp-shell model space.

Measurement of (n,α) cross section for set of structural material isotopes
A novel spectrometer was developed and used to measure the cross section for the (n,α) reaction at IPPE. Direct measurements of the α-particles yield from solid isotopic pure targets of 50, 52 and 53 chromium, 54 and 57 iron, 60 nickel, and 64 zinc were ...

High-density element concentrations in fish from subtidal to hadal zones of the Pacific Ocean
Anthropogenic use of high density, toxic elements results in marine pollution which is bio-accumulating throughout marine food webs. While there have been several studies in various locations analyzing such elements in fish, few have investigated ...

Provision of optimum requirements for preparation of thin free targets from isotopes of chromium, scandium, zirconium, iron, copper [PDF]
Free films (targets) from high-melting chromium, scandium, zirconium, iron, copper isotopes of textured structures are prepared and explored by the method of thermal sputtering. About 2 sm2 films of ≤ 0,5 mg/sm2 thickness with homogeneity about 1 % and
