Loess   147Sm/144Nd 0.1151             Loess Sm/Nd isotopic values which is assumed to be similar to the Mississippi river Nd isotopics. Esser & Turekian 1993 Goldstein & Jacobsen 1988
Goldstein et al. 1984
Loess   187Os/186Os 10.58   0.26         Unweighted mean of multiple samples from Mississippi loess sediments (Peoria Loess and Roxana Silt) which have purely terrigenous Os only. This estimate can be used as a proxy for the upper continental crust. Esser & Turekian 1993
