Abstract
SIMS oxygen isotope analysis of co-crystalline zircon and baddeleyite from the 2.2â¯Ga Duck Lake sill (DLS) in the Northwest Territories, Canada, yield predominant δ18OVSMOW modes of +6.0â° and +3.2â°, respectively. This difference is consistent with preserving high-temperature isotopic equilibrium between zircon and baddeleyite. DLS baddeleyite δ18O data as a whole are negatively skewed (to 0.0â°), and interpreted to reflect low temperature, open-system behaviour. Zircon δ18O are less affected, but also show hints of the same influences of secondary alteration and oxygen isotope exchange.
