Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Sample Treatment and Diagenesis on the Isotopic Integrity of Carbonate in Biogenic Hydroxylapatite
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the isotopic fidelity of different carbon and oxygen-bearing components from individual fossil skeletons of Holocene humans and late Pleistocene mastodons and mammoths.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mollusc larval shell formation: amorphous calcium carbonate is a precursor phase for aragonite.
TL;DR: It is concluded that ACC fulfills an important function in mollusc larval shell formation and it is conceivable that ACC may also be involved in adult shell formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mineralogical and compositional changes in bones exposed on soil surfaces in Amboseli National Park, Kenya: diagenetic mechanisms and the role of sediment pore fluids
TL;DR: In this article, a combined analytical approach involving TEM microscopy, trace metal analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, and petrographic analysis has revealed a complex, dynamic diagenetic environment operating within exposed bones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trace elements in recent and fossil bone apatite
Clive N. Trueman,Noreen Tuross +1 more
TL;DR: The trace element content of bone is susceptible to alteration immediately upon exposure, and while these changes reduce the usefulness of ancient bone as a monitor of the physiology or diet of ancient animals, the trace element composition of ancient bones can yield useful paleoenvironmental information as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linking breeding and wintering ranges of a migratory songbird using stable isotopes
Dustin R. Rubenstein,C. P. Chamberlain,Richard T. Holmes,Matthew P. Ayres,Jacob R. Waldbauer,Gary R. Graves,Noreen Tuross +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that most birds wintering on western Caribbean islands come from the northern portion of the species' North American breeding range, whereas those on more easterly islands are primarily from southern breeding areas, indicating considerable population mixing with respect to breeding longitude.
