The developed method is applied to analyze ^129I/^127I ratio in two ferromanganese crusts MP5D44 and CXD08-1 collected from the Mid-Pacific Ocean. The results show that ^129I/^127I ratio in MP5D44 and CXD08-1 crusts varies from 7×10^-14 to 1.27×10^-12, with the lowest value falling on the detection limit level of AMS reported by previous literatures. For the depth distribution of ^129I/^127I, it is found that both MP5D44 and CXD08-1 crusts have two growth generations, and the ^129I/^127I profiles in two generations all displayed an approximate exponential decay. According to the ^129I/^127I ratio, the generate age of bottom layer of MP5D44 and CXD08-1 was estimated to be 54.77 and 69.69 Ma, respectively.展开更多
