Refining the temperature dependence of the oxygen and clumped isotopic compositions of structurally bound carbonate in apatite
2019
Abstract Clumped isotope data from carbonated apatite from in vivo and in vitro samples are presented to refine the relationship between mineral growth temperature and carbonate clumped isotopic composition (Δ47). Δ47, δ18O and δ13C data were obtained from phosphoric acid digestion (T = 110 °C) of chemically untreated teeth from an African elephant, Greenland sharks, sand tiger sharks and synthetic apatites. These data cover a temperature range between 1 °C and 80 °C and enlarge the calibration dataset presented in Wacker et al. (2016) by a factor of five. Taxon-specific analyses of tooth enamel(oid) and dentine reveal that both tissues show identical Δ47 values even though the content of o…
Experimental organic matter maturation at 2kbar: Heat-up effect to low temperatures on vitrinite reflectance
2012
Abstract An experimental study was performed to evaluate the effect of heat-up to various low temperatures on vitrinite reflectance ( VR ) at 2 kbar employing the same previously used heat-up procedures, starting material and apparatus. Heat-up is the isobaric experimental procedure consisting of the increase in temperature of the laboratory vitrinite maturation from room temperature to the desired run temperature T end of heat-up at which the isobaric-isothermal maturation starts. Experiments employed cold-seal pressure vessels with classical heat-up devices and were carried out on wet (water added) xylite of swamp cypress. Confined system maturation experiments were conducted at 2 kbar an…
Equilibrium and disequilibrium degassing of a phonolitic melt (Vesuvius AD 79 “white pumice”) simulated by decompression experiments
2007
Abstract Equilibrium and disequilibrium degassing of a volatile phase from a magma of K-phonolitic composition was investigated to assess its behavior upon ascent. Decompression experiments were conducted in Ar-pressurized externally heated pressure vessels at superliquidus temperature (1050 °C), in the pressure range 10–200 MPa using pure water as fluid phase. All experiments were equilibrated at 200 MPa and then decompressed to lower pressures with rates varying from 0.0028 to 4.8 MPa/s. Isobaric saturation experiments were performed at the same temperature and at 900–950 °C to determine the equilibrium water solubility in the pressure range 30–250 MPa. The glasses obtained from decompres…
