The lowest observed 5 B-values of around -30%c are for certain tonrma-lines (Chaussidon and Albarede 1992) and some non-marine evaporite seqnences (Swihart et al. 1986), whereas the most enriched HB-reservoir is given by brines from Australia and Israel (Dead Sea) which have 5 B-valnes of np to 60%c (Vengosh et al. 1991a, b). A very characteristic feature of boron geochemistry is the isotopic composition of ocean water with a constant 5 B-valne of 39.5%c (Spivack and Edmond 1987), which is abont 50%c heavier than average continental crnst value of -10 2%o (Chaussidon and Albarede 1992). Isotope variations of boron in some geological reservoirs are shown in Fig. 2.7.
