<p>Bulk Carbon and Nitrogen isotope&nbsp;values of raw and decalcified dentin from a sperm whale tooth were measured to determine the effects of decalcification and the accuracy of untreated dentin results.The sperm whale tooth came from the California Current System.</p> <p><strong>Related Reference:</strong><br /> All sampling and analytical information are supplied in:&nbsp;Brault EK, Koch PK, Gier E, Ruiz-Cooley RI, Zupcic J, Gilbert KN, McCarthy MD (2014) Effects of decalcification on bulk and compound-specific nitrogen and carbon isotope analyses of dentin.
