Table 4. Sr isotopic and δ18O values for enamel and dentine sample for GC96.
Sample | 87Sr/86Sr | δO18 carbonate, pdb, ‰ | δO18 phosphate equivalent, vsmow, ‰ | δO18 drinking water equivalent, vsmow, ‰ |
---|---|---|---|---|
GC96M2 enamel | -5.25 | 16.6 | -8.1 | |
GC96M2 dentine1 | 0.708368 ± 0.000070 | |||
GC96M2 dentine2 | 0.708902 ± 0.000064 | |||
GC96M2 dentine3 | 0.708685 ± 0.000072 |
The structural carbonate fraction was measured and converted to a phosphate equivalent and then to an equivalent drinking water value using Chenery et al. [22]. Typical uncertainty on the δ18O carbonate is ±0.15 ‰, 1 sigma.
