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
| Value | Range | n | Mineral or matrix | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18.205 ± 0.427 | 17.964 / 18.844 | 4 | copper ore (sulfides, a few secondary minerals) Mean and standard deviation of 4 analyses from Table 2.
