Compound-specific Carbon isotopes from sperm whale dentin from the UC-Santa Cruz labs of P. Koch and M. McCarthy (Sperm Whale SI Ratios project)

<p>To determine the effects of decalcification and the accuracy of untreated dentin analysis, compound-specific Carbon isotope analysis was performed on decalcified and raw sperm whale tooth dentin. The differences in the amino acid isotope values and molar composition are reported. The sperm...

Description
Summary:<p>To determine the effects of decalcification and the accuracy of untreated dentin analysis, compound-specific Carbon isotope analysis was performed on decalcified and raw sperm whale tooth dentin. The differences in the amino acid isotope values and molar composition are reported. 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.
