  • Understanding the effect and extent of diagenesis on the isotopic compositions of Sr in marine carbonates is a critical prerequisite for their use to unravel past environments. Here, we explore the dominant controls on carbonate 87Sr/86Sr of a Late Ordovician section from the Monitor Range, USA. Our results reveal a distinct increase in 87Sr/86Sr from 0.70794 to 0.70830 in the mid-upper D. ornatus zone, which is markedly higher than the published datasets of contemporaneous samples with a relatively lower and stable 87Sr/86Sr ratio of ~0.7079. These elevated 87Sr/86Sr ratios suggest a local and post-depositional overprint and cannot be interpreted to reflect the 87Sr/86Sr of the coeval seawater. Furthermore, 87Sr/86Sr exhibits statistically significant positive correlations with geochemical indicators for diagenesis ([Mn], [Fe], Mn/Sr, Fe/Sr), indicating that diagenetic alteration is the principal control on the observed radiogenic 87Sr/86Sr values. Using a numerical model of marine diagenetic fluid-rock interaction, we demonstrate that the observed Sr isotopic and elemental data can be best explained by the chemical variations in bulk carbonates associated with diagenetic alteration. Our results highlight that diagenesis may significantly alter the pristine 87Sr/86Sr ratios of carbonates than previously thought, although the samples satisfy the stricter geochemical criteria of Sr isotope preservation ([Sr] > 300 ppm, [Mn] < 300 ppm, [Fe] < 1000 ppm, Mn/Sr < 0.2, Fe/Sr < 1.6), pointing to the need for more caution when using bulk carbonate 87Sr/86Sr as a tracer of paleoenvironmental changes.
      87Sr/ 86Sr of carbonates can still be diagenetically altered although the samples meet the stricter geochemical criteria of retention.

    • The Monitor Range section records significantly higher 87Sr/86Sr values than the coeval seawater.
    • The radiogenic 87Sr/86Sr ratios can be fully attributed to diagenetic alteration.
    • A comprehensive approach that incorporates evaluation of 87Sr/86Sr correlations with diagenetic indicators and numerical simulation is proposed to identify the primary seawater Sr isotope signal.

    Figure  1.  Lithological, 87Sr/86Sr, [Sr], [Mn], Mn/Sr, [Fe], and Fe/Sr profiles of the Monitor Range section. Graptolite biostratigraphy and lithostratigraphy are based on Finney et al. [26]. Solid curves are the locally weighted scatterplot smoothing (LOWESS) fits for the geochemical data.

    Figure  2.  Comparison of carbonate 87Sr/86Sr records in the present study with published datasets derived from conodonts. The gray solid line is the LOWESS curve of 87Sr/86Sr datasets from Qing et al. [43], Shields et al. [44], Saltzman et al. [16], and Edwards et al. [15], representing the best fit for the published Ordovician 87Sr/86Sr data[19]. The time scale of the Ordovician is based on Geologic Time Scale 2020[34], and the stage slices are from Bergström et al. [45]. Hi.: Hirnantian.

    Figure  3.  Crossplots of (a) 87Sr/86Sr versus [Mn], (b) 87Sr/86Sr versus Mn/Sr, (c) 87Sr/86Sr versus [Fe], (d) 87Sr/86Sr versus Fe/Sr, (e) [Mn] versus [Fe], and (f) Mn/Sr versus Fe/Sr from the Monitor Range section. r represents the correlation coefficient. Note that all six crossplots show statistically significant positive correlations.

    Figure  4.  Modeling results illustrating the evolution of carbonate 87Sr/86Sr versus the weight ratio of fluid to rock (N) and [Sr] during fluid-rock interactions in an open system condition. (a) 87Sr/86Sr versus N, (b) 87Sr/86Sr versus [Sr]. An increasing N value representing a greater volume of fluid has reacted with carbonate. The final 87Sr/86Sr of carbonate is simulated with different initial Sr concentrations of fluid (i.e., ${{{C}}_{\rm Sr}^{r0}/{{C}}_{\rm Sr}^{f0}}$ = 3, 13, 26, and 65). The $\text{(}{}_{\text{}}{}^{\text{87}}\text{Sr/}{{}_{\text{}}{}^{\text{86}}\text{Sr)}}_{\text{}}^{{r0}}$ and ${{C}}_{\rm Sr}^{r0}$ of the primary carbonates are assigned to be 0.7079 and 1300 ppm, respectively, comparable with those of the least-altered samples from the Monitor Range section. The effective fluid-rock distribution coefficient of Sr (${{D}}_{\rm Sr}$) and 87Sr/86Sr of fluid ($\text{(}{}_{\text{}}{}^{\text{87}}\text{Sr/}{{}_{\text{}}{}^{\text{86}}\text{Sr)}}_{\text{}}^{{f0}}$) are set to 1 and 0.711[21, 22], respectively.

    Figure  5.  Modeling results illustrating the evolution of carbonate 87Sr/86Sr versus the diagenetic indicators. (a) 87Sr/86Sr versus [Mn], (b) 87Sr/86Sr versus Mn/Sr, (c) 87Sr/86Sr versus [Fe], (d) 87Sr/86Sr versus Fe/Sr. ${{D}}_{\text{Mn}}$ = 600, ${{D}}_{\rm Fe}$ = 150[21, 39]. Other constant parameters are same as in Fig. 4.

    Figure  6.  Crossplots of modeled 87Sr/86Sr and geochemical indicators of diagenesis ([Mn], Mn/Sr, [Fe], and Fe/Sr) overlain over data from the Monitor Range section. (a) 87Sr/86Sr versus [Mn], (b) 87Sr/86Sr versus Mn/Sr, (c) 87Sr/86Sr versus [Fe], (d) 87Sr/86Sr versus Fe/Sr. The arrows illustrate the evolution direction of 87Sr/86Sr with different diagenetic indicators in primary carbonates during diagenesis. The dotted vertical lines denote [Mn] = 300 ppm, Mn/Sr = 0.2, [Fe] = 1000 ppm, and Fe/Sr = 1.6, respectively, representing the threshold of the stricter geochemical criteria for the preservation of Sr isotope systems in carbonates.
