The following estimates are used: carbonate carbon ( A ) 2420 ± 560 grammes, C 12 / C 13 = 88·55 ± 0·05; organic sedimentary carbon ( B ) between 0·1-0·5 per cent C in shales, C 12 / C 13 = 91·00 ± 0·1 . The concept "crustal carbon" is defined, and based on the measurements of the isotope ratios of thirty-seven diamonds, nineteen carbonates from Ivigtut, some other carbonates and some graphites: the isotope ratio of crustal carbon is estimated to be 89·11 ± 0·05. Using these isotope ratios, the ratio A / B is found to be 3·45 ± 0·55, and B = 700 ± 200 grammes. All weights are referred to cm 2 earth surface, and the isotope ratios to the Stockholm scale.
