Abstract

Four groundwater samples from the Stripa site have been analysed by accelerator mass spectrometry at the University of Rochester. The36Cl concentrations were found to range from 2.108 to 6.108 atoms per litre of water, whereas the modern concentration is two orders of magnitude lower. A subsurface origin seems to be the explanation of these results.

Additional information

A possible explanation of these data, high36Cl contents in the water, is an admixture of fossil sea saline waters with normal ground-waters1). This study by other isotopes is in progress8). Our thanks are due to Professor J-C Fontes for invaluable advices in this work.
