ISOTOPIC (Sr, O, C) INDICATORS OF SALINITY AND TAPHONOMY IN MARGINAL MARINE SYSTEMS
Abstract
Ten sediment samples from the Crocodile River (Nahal Tanninim), Israel, were analyzed for their foraminiferal abundance and four samples were selected for O, C and Sr isotopic analysis to examine salinity and taphonomic trends. Two biofacies were documented: a Ammonia tepida (59±20% (1σ)) and a Pararotalia spinigera (75±17% (1σ)) dominated assemblage. The distribution of δ18O, δ13C and 87Sr/86Sr values within shell material (foraminifera, …
