Using radiogenic strontium isotopes in carbonate shells as a proxy for orogeny

Description

87Sr is produced from the radioactive decay of 87Rb in crustal rocks.
The level of 87Sr is highest in the oceans during times of enhanced erosion.
87Sr is associated with orogeny.
87Sr often occurs with a decrease in CO2 in the atmosphere.
