Use of multiple oxygen isotope proxies for elucidating Arctic Cretaceous palaeo-hydrology
Stable oxygen isotope analysis of siderite and dinosaur tooth enamel phosphate from the Campanian–Maastrichtian Prince Creek Formation, Alaska, USA, are analysed to determine the palaeohydrology of the ancient Colville Basin north of the Ancestral Brooks Range. δ 18 O of freshwater siderites relativ...
