| 0.06 ± 0.12 ‰ | −0.03 / 0.14 ‰ | 2 | primary cassiterite Mean and standard deviation recalculated from 2 samples, Appendix A6. Mean δ124/120Sn of -0.09 ‰ (Puratronic). Replicates of a sample averaged. Moved to Takfon (a deposit distinct from Mushiston) in pass 28. Same samples published with reprocessed data by Berger et al. (2023, Table S2): do not combine both series. | Marahrens (2021), Tin isotope analysis of tin ore deposits in Europe and Central Asia in … |
