Abstract
Nier and Gulbransen (10) observed 20 years ago that the C^(13)/C^(12) ratio of carbon in nature (~1/90) varies slightly depending on the source of the carbon analysed. These workers found that limestones, at-mospheric carbon dioxide, marine plants, and land plants possess different and characteristic C^(13)/C^(12) ratios. Workers using improved analytical techniques (9) have confirmed and extended many of Nier and Gulbransen's early observations (4, 5, 7, 13, 14, 15). Our present knowledge of the C^(13)/C^(12) ratio ranges for various natural carbon containing materials is summarized in figure 1.
