Abstract

The preservation of biogenic isotopic signals (13C, 15N) in fossil bones and teeth is critical in order to interpret paleodiets. Some patterns of variation of these biogenic isotopic signals are characteristic of modern mammals, and their recognition in fossil samples provides a clue for the preservation of biogenic paleodietary signals.
