Scientific paper

The carbon isotopic compositions of about one hundred specimens of limestones and coals of Australian origin have been determined. Various depoaitional, diagenetic, and post-depositional processes which may have produced the carbon isotopic composition of the specimens are discussed. It has been shown that the observed variations in isotopic composition are not due entirely to varying depositional environments in the case of the limestones, and possibly not due entirely to differing original plant biotopes in the case of the coals. Such anomalous variations can be attributed only to changes in the isotopic composition of the hydrosphere and atmosphere from one time to another. It is suggested that the fundamental causes for these variations are the periodic diastrophisms which change the balance of the carbon cycle in the lithosphere. This would imply a definite "age-affect."
