Book ChapterDOI
Biogeochemistry of Stable Carbon Isotopes
TL;DR: In this paper, a modification in the Nier-type mass spectrometer and a refinement in instrumentation techniques by McKinney et al. [3] finally initiated stable isotope studies of the type that are discussed in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI
The amino acid and sugar composition of diatom cell-walls
TL;DR: The amino acid and sugar composition of cell walls from 6 diatom species have been elucidated and Condensation of silicic acid, in epitaxial order, on a protein template enriched in serine and threonine, is suggested as the Si-depositing mechanism in diatoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen and carbon isotope studies of carbonatites from the Laacher See district, West Germany and the Alno district, Sweden.
TL;DR: In this paper, an isotope analysis of carbonatite calcites from the Laacher See district is presented, showing that the carbonatites are derived from gabbroic or ultramafic rocks at depth.
