Abstract
Modern mass spectrometers make it possible to measure variations in isotopic abundances to the order of 1 part in 104. With this sort of equipment, one might undertake to measure the isotopic composition of various elements in various natural mineral compounds, for example, the isotopic composition of S in natural sulfides, in native S, in S found in oils and coals, etc.
