Identification of ambiguous fossil bone remains following 13C and 15N isotopic signals on bone collagen
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)
[Abstract] In this paper we deal with an useful application of isotopic studies on fossil bone remains. Following δ1 3C and δ1 5N signals recorded in bone collagen, it is possible to classify into the proper taxon some ...
