On the relationship between collagen- and carbonate-derived carbon isotopes with implications for the inference of carnivore dietary behavior

On the relationship between collagen- and carbonate-derived carbon isotopes with implications for the inference of carnivore dietary behavior

Studies of Rancho La Brea predators have yielded disparate dietary interpretations when analyzing bone collagen vs. enamel carbonate—requiring a better understanding of the relationship between stable carbon isotopes in these tissues. Stable carbon isotope spacing between collagen and carbonate (Δca...
