0949384RoweThis award provides funds for a hand-held AXS X-ray fluorescence unit. The unit will be used to obtain rapid chemostratigraphic information from organic-rich mudstones. The new instrument will primarily be used to prioritize samples for more detailed laboratory analysis. Samples will be screened in the field and from a core repository. The analytical goals are to match geochemical characteristics with sedimentology and stratigraphy - with emaphasis on the Permo-Triassic Boundary in the Panthalassic and Tethyan Oceans and the Barnett Shale. The PI intends to survey rock outcroppings in order to prioritize subsequent laboratory analyses. Of particular interest is determining mudstone chemostratigraphy. The instrument will support undergraduate and graduate students, the PI and internal/external collaborators. The PI routinely uses analytical instrumentation in geochemistry coursework. This acquisition will support research training for underrepresented groups. The instrument will be housed in the UT Arlington (UTA) Geoscience Building when not being used in the core repository or in the field. ***

0949384Rowethis奖为手持轴X射线荧光单元提供资金。该单元将用于从有机富含有机的泥石中获取快速的化学地层学信息。新仪器将主要用于优先级样品，以进行更详细的实验室分析。样本将在现场和核心存储库中进行筛选。分析目标是将地球化学特征与沉积学和地层相匹配 - 在Panthalassic和Tethyan Ocean和Barnett页岩中的渗透性三叠纪边界上的Emaphasis。 PI打算调查岩石露头，以便优先考虑随后的实验室分析。特别有趣的是确定泥岩化学地层学。该工具将支持本科生和研究生，PI和内部/外部合作者。 PI通常在地球化学课程中使用分析仪器。此次收购将支持代表性不足的群体的研究培训。当不在核心存储库中或现场中，该仪器将安置在UT Arlington（UTA）地球科学大楼中。 ***
