Abstract:
Multi-faceted characterization of reference materials relevant for undertaking environmental impact assessments (JSd-2, JSd-3, MESS-3, HISS-1, FER-4, and BHVO-2. Whole rock major and volatile element contents (C, H, S) were determined using XRF and EA, respectively. Following hotplate digestions, 47 trace elements were determined via solution TQ-ICP-MS. Oxygen isotope compositions (δ18O) were measured using IRMS. Stable Fe (δ56Fe) and radiogenic 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd isotope compositions were measured using MC-ICP-MS.
