I would like to post some conflicting data. I don't knew the source of it, I mean the ultimate source, Odum, from the University of Florida, in 1951 published in "Saience” scase work that he had I done for a Dostorts thesis, 1 believe, in which he gave Hata like this. Water into the coeans from the rivers had about well depending on the dissolved strontius -- 2.2 parts per thousand -- atcaus per thousand -—- in silt 3.4 and volcanics organs 247. Sedie mentation from the oosan had a value ranging fron1.9 tal 3-4, ; depending upon whether it was sandstone, shale, limestone, red clay, otoe, blue md, ets, Is this part to the thousand, or is it atoms per thousant calcium atons? It is a ratio of strontium to calcium in atoms per one the: d, which I believe is consistentwith the other, and he quotes th analyses of sone 50 fossils of ocean life from the early paleosolo recent tines, as giving values ranging from 1.4 to 10.5, although onlyithree of these had values greater than 4. It was his thesis that the o of strontium to calcium in geological cycles is approxinately constant, and that the ratio had not changed greatly over recent gfologie ages I would like to say that Odum did his work with flase spdctrometer, and we did a fairly comprehensive survey just as carbona rock and fossils using a spectrograph and checked those very closaly using independent standards and methods. WESTERN There are no soil gnalyses as Krieger says. I talked to Robinson | about a year or #0 ago, and those old analyses that he , Denar? te in L@tA aet af Energy Histdric’3 AMige eerie LL IL
