The sulfur isotopic composition of seawater sulfate oscillates over geological time, responding to changes in the redox state and biogeochemical processes on the Earth's surface. During times of rapid perturbations in sulfur isotopes where biostratig... Read More about Sulfur isotopes—Use for stratigraphy during times of rapid perturbations.

Sr-isotope chronology of carbonate rocks: Quantifying the uncertainty of inversion (2019)
Book Chapter

The ages of carbonate rocks can be determined by comparing their 87Sr/86Sr ratios with the well-established seawater 87Sr/86Sr curve. Current models and databases provide no explicit solution to the problem of accurately assigning uncertainties to de...
