Isotopic Geochemistry and Paleobiology

Isotopic Geochemistry and Paleobiology is a comprehensive book exploring the application of stable isotope geochemistry to extinct vertebrates that have no extant equivalent. With a strong focus on dinosaur paleontology, the book examines how various aspects of dinosaur lifestyles such as ecology (diet, living environment, reproduction), physiology (body temperature regulation) and climatic conditions can be inferred from the stable isotope composition of fossilized mineralized tissues (bones, teeth). This book is a valuable resource for researchers and students in geosciences, evolutionary biology and paleoclimatology who wish to broaden their knowledge in the analysis and interpretation of dinosaur fossil remains. Offers the first comprehensive book dedicated to the application of stable isotope geochemistry to extinct vertebrates that have no extant equivalent (dinosaurs)Features the latest advances in stable isotope geochemistry applied to dinosaur paleontology INDICE: 1. General principles2. Cretaceous climates3. Physiology4. Living environment5. Diet6. Reproduction
