The 87 Sr / 86 Sr ratio in sea water has varied over geologic time due to the addition of strontium to the sea from rocks with a variety of 87 Sr / 86 Sr ratios. The measurements by et al. (Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 34 , 105-120, 1970) of the value of the marine 87 Sr / 86 Sr ratio have been confirmed by several other workers and by some new measurements on JOIDES samples. They form the basis of a model calculation of the relative proportions of `basaltic' ( 87 Sr / 86 Sr = 0.704) and `granitic' ( 87 Sr / 86 Sr = 0.718) strontium being supplied to the sea. For the last 200 million years, the proportions of these two sources appear to reflect the history of global tectonics; `basaltic' during rifting and increasingly `granitic' during the present episodes of uplift and continental collision
