Reduced partition function ratios (RPFRs) of 11 Cd-bearing minerals (Greenockite and Sphalerite) were modeled by the method of the 12 volume variable cluster model (VVCM). The theoretical method of “water-droplet 13 method” is used to simulate the solvation effect of different Cd-bearing aqueous solutions. 14 The results show that, in most cases, the Cd-bearing aqueous solutions are enriched in 15 114 Cd relative to Greenockite. The Cd isotope fractionation factors between Cd-bearing 16 aqueous solutions and Greenockite are in the range of 0.433- 0.083 (100℃) .

In some cases (e.g., Morgenroth et al., 2000; Yoneda et al., 2004), sample combustion and gaseous CO2 separation procedures were automatically performed by the EA. Subsequently, the automated graphitization equipment (AGE) was developed by IonPlus AG (Němec et al., 2010; Wacker et al., 2010; Solis et al., 2015). The AGE equipment combined with EA can be utilized as a fully automated sample preparation system to be employed for 14C measurements using standard-sized carbon samples (~1 mg). In fact, currently the third generation of the AGE equipment (AGE3) is commercially available (Solís et al., 2015). Notably, small-mass 14C measurements have been performed on analyte samples characterized by a carbon mass below ~0.1–0.05 mg by the AMS system after manual graphitization using the small-volume vacuum glass line (e.g., Delqué-Količ et al., 2013).

The interpretation of n-alkane parameters in paleoenvironmental studies has been based primarily on the n-alkane distribution of leaves in modern plants. Besides plant leaves, however, most other plant organs, e.g., flowers and roots, can also produce a large amount of nalkanes. For example, Gamarra and Kahmen (2015) suggested that flowers might contribute an average of 7% nalkanes to grassland soils. In this study, we collected flower and leaf samples from different plant species to compare the distribution and abundance of n-alkane between flowers and leaves.

Knowledge of the mechanism controlling the sediment cycles of the Onnagawa Formation is critical to understand the evolution of the Japan Sea basin and its associated changes in the environment during the Middle-to-Late Miocene, when the global climate faced a significant cooling phase (e.g., Holbourn et al., 2013). Chronostratigraphy of the Onnagawa Formation has been developed by diatom biostratigraphy of diatomaceous sediment in the Oga Peninsula (Koizumi et al., 2009). However, many outcrops of the Onnagawa Formation have been suffered from silica diagenesis, which dissolved most diatom frustules composed of opalA and reprecipitated as opal-CT (e.g., Koizumi et al., 2009; Tada and Iijima, 1983). Consequently, preservation of diatom frustules became very poor and diatom biostratigraphy could be barely applicable. Although the Onnagawa Formation in the studied area is suffered from silica diagenesis, it is well exposed, and its continuous sequence can be obtained by splicing several sections.

The ∆′17O value of mantle-derived silicates ranges from –70 to –30 × 10−6; however, the mean ∆′17O value of meteoric water is +33 × 10−6 and that of seawater collected at various depths is –5 ± 1 × 10−6 (Luz and Barkan, 2010). This difference in ∆′17O between the lithosphere and hydrosphere has been explained by kinetic fractionation of oxygen isotopes during degassing from the magma ocean on the early primitive earth (Tanaka and Nakamura, 2013) or oxygen isotope exchange between the seawater and lithospheric components such as seafloor basalt and continental crust (Pack and Herwartz, 2014; Sengupta et al., 2020; Sengupta and Pack, 2018).
