    The triple oxygen isotope composition of the Earth mantle and understanding Delta O-17 variations in terrestrial rocks and minerals

    No full text
    It has been shown in numerous studies that terrestrial rocks and minerals fall on a line with slope similar to 0.52 in a delta O-17 vs. delta O-18 diagram. In this study, we present new data on the triple isotope composition of the Earth mantle, crustal materials and low-T aqueous precipitates. Crustal materials show distinct variations in Delta O-17 suggesting that the concept of a single terrestrial mass fractionation is invalid on small-scale. Observable variations in individual fractionation slopes theta are interpreted as temperature effects. We show that the Earth mantle is isotopically homogeneous and confirm the recent finding that the Earth mantle has a negative Delta O-17. The difference in delta O-18 and Delta O-17 between seawater and oceanic crust is discussed with respect to the effects of low- and high-temperature water-rock interaction. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

    Triple oxygen isotope mass balance for the Earth's oceans with application to Archean cherts

    The oxygen isotope composition of the Earth's oceans is buffered by high- and low-T exchange with the lithosphere. We present a triple oxygen isotope mass balance model for the Earth's oceans. The model is based on triple oxygen isotope measurements of rocks from various reservoirs including high- and low-T alteration products. The modern ocean water composition can be well-matched if the ratio between continental weathering and high-T seafloor alteration is ~25% higher than previously assumed. The mass balance suggests that putative Precambrian low-δ18O ocean water would fall on a trend with slope λ = 0.51 passing through “modern” ice-free-world seawater. Exemplified application to a published Phanerozoic and Archean chert data suggest precipitation in cool oceans with modern-like δ18O followed by diagenetic alteration with involvement of meteoric water
