Zn concentration and isotope chart and hydrozincite photomicrograph
Detailed Description
A) Concentration and Zn isotope signature of water in the Rio Naracauli as a function of distance downstream. As hydrozincite precipitates, favoring the heavier isotope of Zn, both the Zn concentration (open symbols) and the value of δ66Zn (solid symbols) decrease. B) Photomicrograph of hydrozincite forming on the surface of bacterial exopolysaccharide secretions.

Non-Traditional Stable Isotopes
Understanding the genesis of ore deposits and their behavior in the environment is a subject of great importance to the Nation. A relatively new tool to aid in these efforts to investigate the origin and environmental effects of ore deposits is the use of "heavy" metal stable isotopes. Our research objectives are to utilize various isotopic systems to advance our understanding of ore genesis and...
