Résumé
Sr-Pb isotopic ratios for the <2 microns, 2-20 microns size fractions and bulk samples from LGM European loess sequences. Samples were crushed in an agate mortar and Sr and Pb isotopes were measured following Chauvel et al. (2011). Lead and strontium were analyzed after dissolution of the powder and without leaching procedure. Blanks run in parallel with the samples during the course of this work were less than 80 pg of Pb and 250 pg of Sr for the entire chemical separation procedure. These amounts are negligible relative to the amount of Pb and Sr present in the beakers after isolation of pure Pb and Sr (typically, 600 ng of Pb and 4 microg of Sr).
