The role of equatorial juvenile arcs in the Middle Triassic seawater 87Sr/86Sr decline during the Pangean “quiet” period

The Middle Triassic (246−235 Ma) seawater 87Sr/86Sr record exhibits an excursion following the recovery from Siberian large igneous province volcanism. Two primary mechanisms have been proposed to explain the isotopic shift: (1) a change in the 87Sr/86Sr ratio of the continental...
