Abstract
Trace element contents (Mn, Fe, Sr) of a set of Lower Carboniferous br achiopod shell fragments have been measured using the Bochum proton mi croprobe. The resulting data are in good agreement with ICP measuremen ts of the same shells and serve as a quantitative criterion to constra in the preservation state of the sample material for oxygen isotope an alyses. They thus help to interpret correctly the isotope data. Linesc ans and elemental maps yield information on the lateral distribution o f trace elements.
