Figure F3.
Measured strontium isotopic composition of pore waters and sedimentary carbonate
(Site 1050 only) and predicted sediment strontium isotopic composition plotted
as a function of depth for each drill site. Predicted sediment strontium
isotopic compositions were estimated from biostratigraphic markers and the
strontium look-up table of Howarth and McArthur (1997). The
symbol diameter for the measured values of Site 1050 sediment is slightly
smaller than two standard deviations (±2
)
about the mean. For comparison, a composite seawater strontium isotopic curve
derived from the 0- to 206-Ma curve published by Howarth and McArthur (1997) is
also illustrated. Significant sedimentary hiatuses determined using shipboard
biostratigraphy (Norris, Kroon, Klaus, et al., 1998) are indicated for each hole
to provide a time context.
