SummaryMagnitude of the matrix correction for Cr concentration is 1.9‰ at 13.4wt.% Cr2O3

The 2SD of residual after this matrix correction applied (0.33‰) is better than the value if we simply apply the XGrs correction with all standards (0.75‰)Matrix correction scheme for pyralspite garnet needs only 7 calibration standardsBiases of pyralspite garnets are well described by sum of the biases derived from each component (Ca, Mn, Fe2+)

For Cr-pyrope garnets, after applying the correction based on grossular content, the calibration curve for Cr-pyrope garnets using new standards reveals that the magnitude of the matrix correction for Cr concentration is ~ 1.9‰ at 13.4 wt.% Cr2O3 (XCr = 0.394). XCr is defined by Cr/(Al+Ti+Fe3++Cr). XGrs is end-member (grossular) propostions.

Results

Calibration curves were fitted by selected three standards (marked by circle outside of symbols). Matrix corrections were applied step-by-step (Ca => Mn => Fe2+). Inset figure shows simple XGrs cali-bration curve with all garnet standards. Blue curved line in the third plot (Fe2+) shows fitting curve with all standards. There is no significant difference between blue (all standards) and red (3 stan-dards). This correction scheme was evaluated using the measured offset of corrected δ18O from δ18OTrue value for all other garnet standards (excluding the 7 calibration standards). The 2 standard deviation (2SD) of the residual after Ca correction was 0.81‰. After the Mn correction was performed, the 2SD of the residual was down to 0.76‰; the final residual after the Fe2+ correction was 0.33‰.

Correction SchemePyralspite and grossular garnets are calibrated with each end-member composition (Ca/Mg+Ca: grossular-pyrope, Mn/Mg+Mn: spessartine-pyrope and Fe2+/Mg+Fe2+: almandine-pyrope) instead of XGrs. Each calibration curve was fitted by a quadratic equation with three standards (near both end-members and an intermediate composition). A pyrope standard (UWPp-1) was used for all calibrations and thus a total of 7 standards were used for this matrix correction (Ca: GrsSE, R-53, UWPp-1; Mn: Sps-3, Sps-4, UWPp-1; Fe: Alm-4, UWG-2, UWPp-1).

The bias for unknowns are calculated as follows:

Step-by-Step calibration:Calibration is applied to standards in the following steps.Biases were calculated as alphas, and subsequently converted back to value in δ-notation [‰].

Instrument & Analytical condition

For SIMS analysis, normal procedures were followed: 10-µm spot size, 2 Faraday cups, 3.5 min/spot (Kita et al., 2009). We also measured 16O1H with the axial Faraday cup to monitor the OH count rate. All analyses were carried out at WiscSIMS Laboratory, University of Wisconsin-Madison.

New Standards

Garnet standards

In this study, we introduce 22 new garnet standards in addition to the current 27 garnet standards (Page et al., 2010). We report 16 low-Ca pyralspite garnets (3 pyropes, 9 almandines, 2 spessartines, 1 fluorine-bearing spessartine and 1 grossular) including intermediate compositions between pyrope and spessartine that were lacking in the composition range of our previous suite of garnet standards. In addition, 6 Cr-pyrope standards were added to evaluate the effect of Cr on the matrix correction. We evaluated the homogeneity of chemical composition and δ18O of all new garnet standards by EPMA and SIMS. The δ18OTrue values were calibrated by laser fluorination.

Stable isotope analysis by SIMS requires a large suite of matching standards for minerals that show complex solid-solution. There is no theoretical basis for extrapolating composition and samples are generally bracketed by the cation composition of standards. For oxygen isotope analysis of pyralspite garnets, a matrix correction based on grossular (Ca) component (XGrs) has been proposed (Page et al., 2010). This simple correction scheme has been generally accepted (Ickert and Stern, 2013; Martin et al., 2014; Raimondo et al., 2012) and can be described with a quadratic curve. However, we observed significant dispersion (>0.5‰) in the low-Ca, near end-member, pyralspite garnets such as pyrope (Mg), almandine (Fe2+) and spessartine (Mn) in recent garnet sessions. While there are some correction schemes that consider these components (Ickert and Stern, 2013; Martin et al., 2014; Vielzeuf et al., 2005), these corrections used a linear fit and/or single component and cannot explain the observed dispersions of low-Ca pyralspite garnets.

In this study, we added new garnet standards that were lacking in the composition range of our previous suite of garnet standards and applied three different matrix correction using quadratic equations. We applied matrix corrections based on 7 garnets (selected as calibration standards) to 27 other garnet standards (including 12 new garnet standards) to evaluate the quality of the matrix correction. In addition, we also added new Cr-pyrope garnet standards, to evaluate the effect of Cr on the matrix correction. The effect of Cr has not previously been studied systematically for matrix correction.
