Scientific paper

87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios of fourteen unaltered limestone and six fossil samples show a range of 0.7066-0.7118 for the depositional water of the Middle to Upper Pennsylvanian Madera Formation. The variation of these 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios may be due to the restricted depositional basin and nature of the source of the Madera Formation. While fossil and limestone samples are equally good for determination of strontium isotopic composition of depositional waters, leaches of calcareous shales contain significant amount of 87 Sr leached from the noncarbonate fraction during acid treatment.
