Abstract: | δ13 C of dolostones from the Wumishan Formation (1 310–1 207 Ma) in the Ming Tombs area near Beijing ranges from ?1.5 to 1.5‰ (PDB), and generally, the δ18O ranges from ?4 to ?5‰ (PDB). The secular variation of stable carbon isotopic compositions is cyclic. δ13C displays positive shifts from a sequence boundary to 1.5 per mil (PDB), then a negative shifts to ?1.5 per mil (PDB). In some unit, where δ13C values of the rocks are negative, they have relatively high δ18O values close to ?4.0‰ (PDB). These characteristics of the carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions may be associated with sea-level changes. |
