Size fractions <5 m of Fithian illite were treated with 1 N HCl, H + - from cation-exchange resin, and 5% NH 4 -EDTA-solution, and analyzed for their Rb-Sr isotopic composition. In comparison to the effects of HCl, the ion-exchange resin leached the same amount of Sr, but significantly less Rb and radiogenic 87 Sr from poorly-crystallized 1 M illite. An age of 284 ± 8 Ma (I.R. 0.7109 ± 6 is more or less in agreement with the Missourian (Stephanian) age of deposition. The agreement is fortuitous because of the presence of small amounts of detrital 2 M illite and kaolinite, thus the true age of diagenesis might be somewhat less. 87 Sr / 86 Sr ratio measurements of Tithonian Solnhofen limestone demonstrate that, even though the silicate component constitutes less than 5% of the total, the majority of the radiogenic 87 Sr is leached from "broken-bond" surfaces of the nearly pure kaolinite-residues during the HCl treatment. Ion-exchange and EDTA treatment can be useful in this situation to obtain a precise separation of environmental Sr (in carbonate) from radiogenic 87 Sr (in silicates), and an adequate spread of Rb / Sr values from argillaceous fine fractions in the construction of isochrons.
