As stated by Urey (1947), "Accurate determinations of the Ol8 content of carbonate rocks could be used to determine the temperature at which they were formed". This concept was based on the temperature dependence for the oxygen isotope fractionation between calcite and water. Urey realized that if a mass spectrometer with sufficient precision could be built, a method of reproducibly extracting oxygen from...
