Abstract
The 87Sr/86Sr of Sr in macrofossil carbonate from Upper Cretaceous strata deposited in the Western Interior Seaway, USA, provides a Sr-isotope curve for Late Cretaceous time (Cenomanian-Early Maastrichtian). The curve is calibrated biostratigraphically against the most refined ammonite zonation known for the interval, and calibrated numerically with 39Ar/40Ar dates for 20 bentonites within the sequence. Marine 87Sr/86Sr decreased from 0.70743 in...
