Description

These data are 11-Boron and 43-Calcium values from mass spectrometer runs of mussel larvae shells, conducted on 4 Jan. 2014 and 1 June 2015.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

The concentrations of B and Ca in each mussel were analyzed using a laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (LA-ICPMS; Cetac LSX-213; 213 nm laser coupled to an iCap Qc ICPMS) located in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at Louisiana State University. Boron isotopes of bulk mussel larvae and additional B/Ca ratios were measured in the Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry Labs at Arizona State University using a Cameca IMS 3F.

Mussel larvae were obtained from Scripps where they were cultured in bulk.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

LA-ICPMS data can be evaluated using Iolite. SIMS data was evaluated using an instrument fractionation factor as established from Bahamian carbonates.

Versions:
Version 2015-07-07 includes runs from 2014 and 2015.
Version 2014-07-03 includes runs from 2014.

BCO-DMO Data Processing:
In order to serve on the BCO-DMO system, these changes were made to the originally submitted files:
- headers were split off from data
- removed commas at end of each record
- parameter names starting with numbers were changed.
- added columns for date, run, sample, and time_start

Instruments

Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer

Supplied Name: ICP Mass Spec

Supplied Description:

LA-ICPMS; Cetac LSX-213; 213 nm laser coupled to an iCap Qc ICPMS located in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at Louisiana State University.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer

Acronym: ICP Mass Spec

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB15/

Generic Description:

An ICP Mass Spec is an instrument that passes nebulized samples into an inductively-coupled gas plasma (8-10000 K) where they are atomized and ionized. Ions of specific mass-to-charge ratios are quantified in a quadrupole mass spectrometer.

Mass Spectrometer

Supplied Name: Mass Spec

Supplied Description:

Cameca IMS 3F located at the Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry Labs at Arizona State University

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Mass Spectrometer

Acronym: Mass Spec

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB16/

Generic Description:

General term for instruments used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions; generally used to find the composition of a sample by generating a mass spectrum representing the masses of sample components.
