The isotopic composition of strontium in surface water from ten localities in the North Atlantic Ocean has been determined. The results support the conclusion that the Sr 87 / Sr 86 ratio of the ten samples is constant within experimental errors. Eight of the ten samples came from the western half of the North Atlantic from the Bahamas to the Northumberland Straits of Nova Scotia. Two samples originated from the vicinity of the West African coast. The mean SrSr 87 / Sr 86 ratio is 0.7093 ± 0.0005 ( ), relative to Sr 86 / Sr 88 = 0.1194. This value is in agreement with determinations of most previous analysts. A model is proposed which describes the isotopic composition of strontium in the oceans as a mixture of three isotopic varieties of strontium originating as weathering products of three types of rocks on the continents and in the ocean basins.
