Does anyone know any papers or unpublished report/s on the effect of marine water on the stable isotope signature of sub-fossil wood. I'm wanting to start an isotopic project on sub-fossil wood removed from ancient beach deposits. And my student is concerned about the effects of marine water and bacteria on the stable isotope results.
For a precautionary measure, use only the wood within the log that had no direct exposure to the water, and where there is no possible contamination from fungus or other organisms that contain cellulose (e.g. root systems of other plants). Then use only the alpha-cellulose of the wood with the proper pre-treatments for the stable isotope analyses.
how about effect of marine water on radiogenic isotopes? For example strontium in driftwood?
Buluntunun (ağacın) cinsi, deniz suyunun kimyasal özelliği ile deniz suyu sıcaklığının yıllık değişim etkilerinin bilinmesi gerekir. Ayrıca buluntunun bazı testler için sadece yüzeyinin değil, aynı zamanda iç dokularının da kuru olması gerekir.
