1.Geochron Laboratories was the first laboratory to provide high quality isotopic analyses to geological and archaeological communities on a comercial basis.
2.So if someone moves from one place to another, bones synthesized after that move will also reflect the new isotopic signatures of the surrounding environment.
3.Its chemistry, pristine because of the Wilcocks' swift action, showed that the water in it nevertheless had the same isotopic composition as water on Earth.
4.But more recent, detailed studies which analyse the isotopic data in more detail have pushed the consensus away from farming and rubbish dumps and towards swamps.
6.Ask a pair of geochemists how something like this works, and they will start talking about isotopic abundances and ionization levels with an enthusiasm that is more endearing than fathomable.
7.Problem is, as scientists have taken more and more precise isotopic measurements of the Moon they've found that it's nearly identical in composition to the Earth—not some other object.
8.By comparing the isotopic composition of the particles Stardust collected with samples from our own solar system, it was proven that Comet Wild 2 originated from the solar system.
9.Now, he says, a new theory in the journal Nature Geoscience may at least point to a way out of that isotopic crisis of the moon's chemical isotopes so closely resembling Earth's.
10.This, by studying the isotopic composition of ancient silver coins, has tried to draw conclusions about where the metal in a coin was mined, and thus about patterns of trade.
11.So to determine how much of the stuff was truly interstellar—from beyond our solar system—the researchers used other isotopic clues to screen out quantities of iron-60 produced by nuclear reactions and cosmic rays.
