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.
