Feb 26, 2010· On page 1114 of this issue, Coggon et al. address this problem by measuring magnesium/calcium and strontium/calcium ratios in calcium carbonate (calcite) veins recovered from ocean crust buried under sediments . Their Mg/Ca record for the past 180 million years agrees with previous work, but the Sr/Ca record does not . The results have ...

Abstract Chemical (Sr, Mg) and isotopic (δ 18 O, 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) compositions of calcium carbonate veins (CCV) in the oceanic basement were determined to reconstruct changes in Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca of seawater in the Cenozoic. We examined CCV from 10 basement drill sites in the Atlantic and Pacific, ranging in age between 165 and 2.3 Ma.

away from the ridge axis. The carbonate veins record the compositions of the fluids from which they precipitate. Coggon et al. (2004) demon-strated how calcium carbonate veins that precipitated in the upper basement accurately predict the chemistry of ridge flank hydrothermal fluids, with increasing temperature, across the eastern flank of the Juan

The chemical composition of our oceans is not constant but has varied significantly over geological time. In a study published this week in Science, researchers describe a novel method for reconstructing past ocean chemistry using calcium carbonate veins that precipitate from seawater-derived fluids in rocks beneath the seafloor.

Feb 26, 2010· Proxies for past seawater chemistry, such as Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios, provide a record of the dynamic exchanges of elements between the solid Earth, the atmosphere, and the hydrosphere and the evolving influence of life. We estimated past oceanic Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios from suites of 1.6- to 170-million-year-old calcium carbonate veins that had precipitated from seawater-derived fluids in ocean ...

Washington, Feb 7 (ANI): In a new study, scientists have described a novel method for reconstructing past ocean chemistry using calcium carbonate veins that precipitate from seawater-derived ...

Calcium carbonate veins record the chemical evolution of seawater as it flows through the ocean crust and reacts with the rock. The composition of past seawater can therefore be determined from suites of calcium carbonate veins that precipitated millions of years ago in ancient ocean crust.

"Reconstructing past ocean chemistry remains a major challenge for Earth scientists, but small calcium carbonate veins formed from warm seawater when it reacts with basalts from the oceanic crust provide a unique opportunity to develop such records," added co-author Professor Damon Teagle from SOES.

Calcium carbonate veins in ocean crust record a threefold increase of seawater Mg/Ca in the past 30 Million years By Svenja Rausch, Florian Böhm, Wolfgang Bach, Andreas Klügel and Anton Eisenhauer

Fundamental global processes such as tectonics, climate, and biological productivity control these fluxes (Fig 1). Consequently, changes in past ocean chemistry help us understand the evolution of the Earth system. Calcium carbonate veins (CCV) formed during ridge flank hydrothermal circulation record past ocean Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios.

Hydrothermal circulation and formation of calcium-carbonate veins in a warm ridge flank. Cartoon showing the progressive precipitation of calcium-carbonate veins from ridge flank hydrothermal fluid as it heats and reacts with the upper ocean crust, in a warm ridge flank (e.g. the eastern flank of the JdFR).

A mid-ocean ridge (MOR) is a seafloor mountain system formed by plate tectonics.It typically has a depth of ~ 2,600 meters (8,500 ft) and rises about two kilometers above the deepest portion of an ocean basin.This feature is where seafloor spreading takes place along a divergent plate boundary.The rate of seafloor spreading determines the morphology of the crest of the mid-ocean ridge and its ...

Calcium carbonate veins are common in upper ocean crust, where they precipitate from low temperature (100 C) seawater-derived hydrothermal fluids that have reacted with the basaltic lavas that ...
