Reporting Standards
18O and
D
All
18O (except carbonates) and
D values are reported relative to Vienna SMOW (Standard Mean Ocean Water).
18O of carbonates are reported relative to PDB (Cretaceous belemnite from the PeeDee formation).
The conversion of PDB
18O to SMOW
18O is:
18O SMOW = 1.03086*
18O PDB + 30.86
13C
All
13C values are reported relative to PDB (Cretaceous belemnite from the PeeDee formation).
15N
15N values are reported relative to atmospheric nitrogen.
34S
34S values are reported relative to troilite of the Canyon Diablo iron meteorite.
