Journal ArticleDOI
Strontium isotopic, chemical, and sedimentological evidence for the evolution of Lake Lisan and the Dead Sea
Mordechai Stein,Abraham Starinsky,Amitai Katz,Steven L. Goldstein,Malka Machlus,Alexandra Schramm +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the strontium isotope ratios of aragonite and gypsum from the Lisan Formation in the Perazim Valley (near the SW shore of the Dead Sea).
Journal ArticleDOI
Strontium behavior in the aragonite-calcite transformation: An experimental study at 40–98°C
TL;DR: The behavior of strontium during the replacement of aragonite by calcite, in a closed system between 40°C and 98°C, has been experimentally investigated as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen isotope fractionation during the dolomitization of calcium carbonate
Alan Matthews,Amitai Katz +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the oxygen isotope fractionation accompanying the hydrothermal dolomitization of CaCO, between 252 and 295°C, and found that the volume of the solution zone for the aragonite + low magne~an calcite transformation is within the range 3.7-6.5 liters.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin and evolution of Canadian Shield brines: evaporation or freezing of seawater? New lithium isotope and geochemical evidence from the Slave craton
Dennis J. Bottomley,Amitai Katz,Lui-Heung Chan,Abraham Starinsky,M. Douglas,Ian D. Clark,Kenneth G. Raven +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, chemical and isotopic data for deep seated calcium chloride brine from the Miramar Con gold mine, Yellowknife NWT, strongly suggest that the brine salinity is of marine origin.
Journal ArticleDOI
The geochemical evolution of the Pleistocene Lake Lisan-Dead Sea system
TL;DR: The geochemical history of Lake Lisan, the Pleistocene precursor of the Dead Sea, has been studied by geological, chemical and isotopic methods as mentioned in this paper, and the results show that the lake is well mixed, highly evaporated and saline.
