Carbonate-hosted stratabound

A copper deposit of the Southeastern Alps, analysed to build a lead reference database for tracing the origin of prehistoric copper.

206Pb/204Pb isotope ratio, no unit Values of the same system

Standard : NIST SRM 981

ValueRangenMineral or matrixSource
18.456 ± 0.19818.247 / 18.6545copper ore (sulfides, a few secondary minerals)
Mean and standard deviation of 5 analyses from Table 2. Secondary copper minerals can be more radiogenic than primary sulfides.
