Dear Colleagues,

A couple of years ago I asked a similar question to the list, a got
very useful repsonse. I guess you still might be able to find them in
the isogeochem archives. If not, I can send you an Excel file with
some usefule references and data, that I composed in the course of
time.
Just let me know on my direct e-mail if you think this can be of use
to you (no attachments to the list server !).

regards,

Harro Meijer
