An aminostratigraphy for the British Quaternary based on Bithynia opercula (2013)
Journal Article
Penkman, K., Preece, R., Bridgland, D., Keen, D., Meijer, T., Parfitt, S., …Collins, M. (2013). An aminostratigraphy for the British Quaternary based on Bithynia opercula. Quaternary Science Reviews, 61, 111-134. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2012.10.046

Aminostratigraphies of Quaternary non-marine deposits in Europe have been previously based on the racemization of a single amino acid in aragonitic shells from land and freshwater molluscs. The value of analysing multiple amino acids from the opercul... Read More about An aminostratigraphy for the British Quaternary based on Bithynia opercula.
