Marine organisms affected

Carbonate rocks are not normally transported over long distances, and we find carbonate reservoir rocks mostly at the location of origin, in situ . They are usually the product of marine organisms. However, carbonates are often severely affected by diagenetic processes. A more detailed description of altered carbonates and their reservoir properties is given below in the description of diagenesis . [Pg.78]

Organo-tin compounds have been used as catalysts, stabilisers for plastics and biocides. Tributyltin (TBT) species are very effective biocides, and have been incorporated as active agents in antifouling compounds for marine applications. However, TBT has seriously affected other marine organisms such as oysters, crabs and fish even at parts per billion and lower concentrations in water. Consequendy, the determinations of low levels of TBT and dibutyl tin (DBT), its less toxic primary degradation product in water and in biological materials, are very important. [Pg.428]

Fractionation and Contamination. The ratio 14C/12C in certain materials may be affected by isotopic fractionation. For example, the uptake of carbon dioxide and its incorporation into plant tissue may be accompanied by substantial fractionation that depends on the plant species. With marine organisms, fractionation may also be important, especially when inorganic carbonate and bicarbonate are involved. Corrections for fractionation must be made for precise radiocarbon dating. [Pg.308]
