T1 - Absolute Isotope Ratios N2 - Measurement results and scientific models leading to important decisions in forensics, food fraud or climatology are based on isotope ratio data. Molar masses of multi-isotopic elements are as well based on isotope ratio data. Thus, in the case of Si, isotope ratios directly impact the redefinition of the SI base units kilogram and mole. Therefore, new strategies are required leading to new primary isotope reference materials, whose isotope ratios are traceable to the SI. This in turn will ensure the comparability of isotope ratio data and will render the traceability exception requested by the CCQM superfluous. Such new procedures will be developed for the key elements S, Si, Ca, Sr and Nd at relative uncertainty levels of ≤ 0.01 %.

T1 - Assessing δ26Mg in bioapatite as proxy for faunivory N2 - Knowledge about feeding behavior is essential to determine trophic interactions and reconstruct predator-prey relationships in modern and past foodwebs. Traditionally, nitrogen isotopes (δ15N) of collagen are used to quantify the ingestion of animal protein, however collagen usually does not preserve over geological time scales. To infer the diet of extinct vertebrates from fossil material more resistant dietary proxies such as Ca and Mg isotopes are needed, which are major elements in the bioapatite of bones and teeth. Magnesium is a bio-essential element that replaces calcium in the bioapatite lattice and bone and enamel δ26Mg values of extant mammals increase systematically along the foodchain [1, 2]. The existing δ26Mg data, however, is scarce, in particular with respect to carnivores, thus still limiting the capability of this dietary proxy to reliably determine trophic differences between plant- and animal-feeders. To better constrain trophic-level effects recorded in Mg isotopes, we analyzed δ26Mg of bioapatite from modern mammals with a focus on faunivores, both carnivores and as yet unexplored insectivores. The trophic level effect of δ26Mg is influenced by the geological substrate which causes isotope variability in δ26Mg of faunal remains between different ecosystems [1, 2]. Therefore, as first-order proxy for sample provenance and to assess potential influences of the bedrock substrate of the animals´ habitats on δ26Mg of bones and teeth, we measured the 87Sr/86Sr on the same specimens. This information will enable us to refine trophic level effects and determine whether δ26Mg can be used to distinguish different faunivores isotopically. This will be of paramount importance for dietary reconstructions of trophic niches in fossil foodwebs. [1] Martin et al. (2014) Geochmica Cosmochimica Acta 130, 12-20. [2] Martin et al.

T1 - Calibration of Mg isotope amount ratios and delta values N2 - In the past, δ26/24Mg measurements were referenced to NIST SRM 980, the initial zero of the δ26/24Mg scale. With the development of MC-ICPMS, the detection of small but measurable isotopic differences in different chips of SRM 980 became apparent. To solve this problem a suite of magnesium isotope reference materials, ERM-AE143, -AE144 and -AE145, has been certified in a first study by applying an ab initio calibration for absolute Mg isotope ratios without any a priori assumptions, a procedure which fulfils all requirements of a primary method of measurement. We could achieve for the first time measurement uncertainties for isotope amount ratios close to the typical precision of magnesium delta values, δ26/24Mg, which are at the 0.1 ‰ level (2SD). In addition, it was demonstrated that commonly used fractionation laws are invalid for correcting Mg isotope ratios in multi-collector ICPMS as they result in a bias which is not covered by its associated uncertainty. Depending on their type, fractionation laws create a bias up to several per mil, with the exponential law showing the smallest bias between 0.1 ‰ to 0.7 ‰. With these isotope reference materials, it is possible to establish SI-traceability for magnesium delta measurements. To realize this, we organized a second study within which five expert laboratories participated to cross-calibrate all available magnesium isotope standards, which are NIST SRM 980, IRMM-009, ERM-AE143, ERM-AE144, ERM-AE145 and the standards DSM3 and Cambridge-1. The mean δ26/24Mg values for the individual iRMs, calculated from the laboratory means show 2 SD reproducibilities varying between 0.025 and 0.093 ‰. Propagated measurement uncertainties suggest a standard uncertainty of about 0.1‰ for δ26/24Mg determinations (2SD). Thus, SI traceability for magnesium isotope amount ratios and delta values is demonstrated to be established.

T1 - CCQM-P134 Pb isotope amount ratios and delta-values in bronze N2 - Isotope amount ratios (hereafter referred to as simply isotope ratios) are proving useful in an ever increasing array of applications that range from studies unravelling transport processes, to pinpointing the provenance of specific samples as well as trace element quantification by using isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS). These expanding applications encompass fields as diverse as archaeology, food chemistry, forensic science, geochemistry, medicine and metrology. However, to be effective tools, the isotope ratio data must be reliable and traceable to enable the comparability of measurement. The importance of traceability and comparability in isotope ratio analysis has already been recognized by the Inorganic Analysis Working Group (IAWG) within the CCQM. Three pilot studies have focused on the quality of isotope ratio determinations (P48 “U isotope ratios in urine”, P75 “stable isotopes in Methionine”, P105 “87Sr/86Sr in wine”). Moreover, isotope ratio measurements are fundamental to IDMS amount of substance determinations. For example, when Pb quantification using IDMS is undertaken, this requires the measurements of Pb isotope ratios. While the requirements for isotope ratio accuracy and precision in the case of of IDMS are generally quite modest, “absolute” Pb isotope ratio measurements for geochemical age dating and source rock characterization as well as forensic provenance and fingerprinting studies require Pb isotope ratio measurements of the highest quality. To support present and future CMCs on isotope ratio determinations, a Key Comparison was urgently needed. Therefore, it was decided at the IAWG meeting in Paris in April 2011 that a Key Comparison on the determination of Pb isotope ratios in a pure Pb solution and in a bronze sample should be organized and accompanied by a pilot study. Measuring Pb isotope amount ratios in a pure Pb solution, while seemingly straight forward, rigorously tests the ability of analyst to correct for any instrumental effects (such as mass discrimination and blank correction) on the measured ratios. Pb, present in trace amounts in a metal matrix sample (e.g. Pb in bronze), provides a real world test of the whole chemical and instrumental procedure, from chemical separation and sample purification to analysis and subsequent correction of appropriate instrumental effects on the separated samples. A suitable bronze material with a Pb mass fraction between 10 and 100 mg·kg-1 was available at BAM. A high purity solution of Pb with a mass fraction of approximately 100 mg·kg-1 was also available. By comparing the Pb isotope ratio results obtained for the bronze sample with the Pb isotope ratio results from the Pb solution, potential biases arising from the processing of the bronze sample could be effectively identified and separated from the instrumental effects arising from the measurement and data processing protocol.
