George E. Claypool, William T. Holser, Isaac R. Kaplan, Hitoshi Sakai, Israel Zak
1980, Chemical Geology (28) 199-260
Three hundred new samples of marine evaporite sulfate, of world-wide distribution, were analyzed for δ34S, and 60 of these also for δ18O in the sulfate ion. Detailed δ34S age curves for Tertiary—Cretaceous, Permian—Pennsylvanian, Devonian, Cambrian and Proterozoic times document large variations in δ34S. A summary curve forδ18O also shows definite...
