Goethite samples analyzed for this study have a D range from -202 to -98 per mil with a corresponding D range of associated waters from about -110 to +7 per mil. Goethites with the most positive D values are from marine environments. Goethite-water equilibrium D / H fractionation factors measured in this laboratory at 100°C and 145°C and estimated for sedimentary temperatures from data on natural samples have values of about 0.900 at all three temperatures. These data suggest that goethite D values may be a direct, temperature-independent measure of the D values of the waters with which the goethite last equilibrated. Most of the goethite D values in this study reflect the D values of the modern waters in the locales of origin. Substitution of Mn and/or Al for Fe in the goethite structure may affect the mineral-water fractionation factor. Manganese appears to decrease the value of . The effect of Al substitution on has not yet been measured, but preliminary arguments suggest that increasing Al content could increase values.
