Annual rainfall and nitrogen-isotope correlation in macropod collagen: application as a palaeoprecipitation indicator. (1997)
Journal Article
Gröcke, D., Bocherens, H., & Mariotti, A. (1997). Annual rainfall and nitrogen-isotope correlation in macropod collagen: application as a palaeoprecipitation indicator. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 153(3-4), 279-285. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0012-821x%2897%2900189-1

Collagen has been extracted and analysed for δ15N from modern kangaroos, macropods (Macropus eugenii, M. antilopinus, M. fuliginosus, M. rufus, M. robustus), in Western Australia and South Australia. Comparison of nitrogen-isotope ratios with annual... Read More about Annual rainfall and nitrogen-isotope correlation in macropod collagen: application as a palaeoprecipitation indicator..

Determination of the abundance and carbon isotope composition of elemental carbon in sediments. (1997)
Journal Article
Bird, M., & Gröcke, D. (1997). Determination of the abundance and carbon isotope composition of elemental carbon in sediments. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 61(16), 3413-3423. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0016-7037%2897%2900157-9

We report measurements of the susceptibility of a variety of elemental and organic carbon samples to oxidative degradation using both acid dichromate and basic peroxide reagents. Organic carbon is rapidly oxidized using either reagent, or both reagen... Read More about Determination of the abundance and carbon isotope composition of elemental carbon in sediments..

Stable-isotope studies on the collagenic and hydroxylapatite components of fossils: Palaeoecological implications (1997)
Journal Article
Gröcke, D. (1997). Stable-isotope studies on the collagenic and hydroxylapatite components of fossils: Palaeoecological implications. Lethaia: An International Journal of Palaeontology and Stratigraphy, 30(1), 65-78. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1502-3931.1997.tb00445.x

Collagenic material has been extracted and analysed for stable carbon- and nitrogen-isotope ratios from Henschke Cave, a Late Pleistocene fossil locality, South Australia. The carnivore Thylacoleo carnifex most likely consumed omnivores (Parameles sp...
