Oxygen isotope analyses of skeletal remains (18 O/16 O, δ 18 O) are a powerful tool for
exploring major themes in bioarchaeology (the study of biological archaeological remains) …

The stable isotope compositions of biogenic materials record a combination of
environmental parameters and biological processes. In general, the environment provides a …

The nine editions of Stable Isotope Geochemistry have appeared over a time span of nearly
50 years. The first edition (1973) appeared as a slim book of 135 pages. Due to the rapid …

Theoretical predictions and measured isotope variations indicate that diet and physiological
adaptation have a significant impact on animals δ18O and cannot be ignored. A generalized …

A model is proposed for oxygen isotope fractionation in body water of terrestrial, herbivorous
mammals larger than 1 kg. The goal of this model is to estimate the oxygen isotopic …

▪ Abstract Vertebrate fossils and continental sediments provide a rich record of variations in
the isotopic composition of surface environments. To interpret these records, a greater …

The oxygen isotopic composition of phosphate (δ18Op) and structural carbonate (δ18Oc) of
hydroxylapatite was determined in 31 bone and tooth samples of modern mammals from …

Assessments of temporal variation in diets are important for our understanding of the
ecology of many vertebrates. Ratios of naturally occurring stable isotopes in animal tissues …

The carbon and oxygen isotope composition of carbonate in enamel hydroxylapatite can
provide information on photosynthetic pathways of plants at the base of food webs, and on …

Controversy over the oxygen isotope composition of seawater began in the 1950's, since
which time there has been no agreement over whether the oxygen isotope composition of …
