Lithium Isotope Evolution of Cenozoic Seawater
This study presents the first high-resolution long-term history of seawater lithium isotope ratio (δ7LiSW) reconstructed from analyses of chemically cleaned planktonic foraminifera. The lithium isotope ratio of seawater (δ7LiSW ~31.0‰) is at secular equilibrium with its input sources via chemical we...

This study presents the first high-resolution long-term history of seawater lithium isotope ratio (δ7LiSW) reconstructed from analyses of chemically cleaned planktonic foraminifera. The lithium isotope ratio of seawater (δ7LiSW ~31.0‰) is at secular equilibrium with its input sources via chemical weathering of the silicate continents (δ7LiRiv ~23‰), hydrothermal weathering of seafloor silicate basalts (δ7LiHT ~5.6‰) and removal by reverse weathering of authigenic sediments and seafloor basalts (δ7LiSED ~15‰). The δ7LiSW preserved in marine calcitic planktonic foraminifera provides a unique time tracer of changes in the global silica cycle.
