The Thermo Scientific ELEMENT 2, a single collector double focusing sector field ICP-MS, was used for the determination of Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca elemental ratios in microgram samples taken from seasonal growth bands in a coral skeleton (Diploria strigosa). Variations in δ18O values were found to be in good agreement with the results for Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca elemental ratio determinations.
