Abstract

We present a new clumped isotope calibration relating temperature to the Δ47 composition of the bioapatite scales of gar fish (Lepisosteidae family). Modern gars live at <∼3 m depth in rivers and lakes, are non-migratory, and their scales grow continuously over their lifespan (∼8–14 years). As ectotherms, their body temperature is equivalent to ambient water temperature. These features indicate that the Δ47 composition of gar scales may be useful for measuring the surface temperature in present and past terrestrial settings. Fossil gar scales are widely distributed in time (Cretaceous to modern) and location (North and South America, Europe, India, and Africa), and are highly mineralized and resistant to diagenesis. Our calibration is based on modern gars collected from eight locations in North America. We use climate data to convert the variable temperature in the gar's habitat into an effective temperature, Te, to account for variable growth. For our samples, Te ranges from 13.8 to 27.1°C. We report a lab protocol for measuring the Δ47 composition of gar scale bioapatite with a reproducibility of 0.019‰ (1 SD). Our calibration is based on 19 samples, with ∼3 replicate measurements per sample. The result is Δ47 = (0.1206 ± 0.0171) × 106/Te2 – (0.7429 ± 0.0587) (1 SE), with R2 = 0.75 (Δ47 in ‰ and Te in K). The slope of this calibration is steeper than that for the lab-controlled precipitation of inorganic carbonate. We argue that this difference is caused by kinetic isotope effects associated with hydroxyapatite biosynthesis.

利用来自Gar鳞片的碳酸盐团块同位素的地球温度计
我们提出了一种新的团块同位素校准方法,将温度与黄鳝生物磷灰石鳞片的Δ47组成联系起来。现代鲤鱼生活在河流和湖泊的约3米深处,是非洄游性的,它们的鳞片在其一生(约8-14年)中不断生长。作为变温动物,它们的体温与环境水温相当。这些特征表明,黄鳞的Δ47组成可能对测量现在和过去陆地环境下的地表温度有用。化石黄鳞在时间(白垩纪至现代)和地点(南北美洲、欧洲、印度和非洲)上分布广泛,矿化程度高,抗成岩作用。我们的校准是基于从北美八个地点收集的现代gar。我们使用气候数据将gar栖息地的可变温度转换为有效温度Te,以解释变化的生长。对于我们的样品,温度范围为13.8至27.1°C。我们报告了一种测量gar鳞生物磷灰石Δ47组成的实验室方案,再现性为0.019‰(1 SD)。我们的校准基于19个样本,每个样本有~ 3个重复测量。结果为Δ47 =(0.1206±0.0171)× 106/Te2 -(0.7429±0.0587)(1 SE), R2 = 0.75 (Δ47为‰,Te为K),校准斜率比实验室控制的无机碳酸盐沉淀斜率更陡。我们认为这种差异是由与羟基磷灰石生物合成相关的动力学同位素效应引起的。

期刊介绍: Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems (G3) publishes research papers on Earth and planetary processes with a focus on understanding the Earth as a system. Observational, experimental, and theoretical investigations of the solid Earth, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, and solar system at all spatial and temporal scales are welcome. Articles should be of broad interest, and interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged. Areas of interest for this peer-reviewed journal include, but are not limited to: The physics and chemistry of the Earth, including its structure, composition, physical properties, dynamics, and evolution Principles and applications of geochemical proxies to studies of Earth history The physical properties, composition, and temporal evolution of the Earth''s major reservoirs and the coupling between them The dynamics of geochemical and biogeochemical cycles at all spatial and temporal scales Physical and cosmochemical constraints on the composition, origin, and evolution of the Earth and other terrestrial planets The chemistry and physics of solar system materials that are relevant to the formation, evolution, and current state of the Earth and the planets Advances in modeling, observation, and experimentation that are of widespread interest in the geosciences.
