Stable isotope record of Triceratops from a mass accumulation (Lance Formation, Wyoming, USA) provides insights into Triceratops behaviour and ecology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Our understanding of Late Cretaceous dinosaur ecosystems from North America has considerably improved through stable isotope analyses on fossil bones and teeth. Oxygen and carbon stable isotopic compositions of structurally-bound carbonate in these fossil apatites are commonly used to infer variations of ingested water and food sources, which are in turn related to environmental and climatic conditions. Incremental isotopic records potentially ...
