Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of diagenesis on oxygen isotope ratios of biogenic phosphates
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of diagenesis on the oxygen isotope composition of ancient biogenic phosphates was evaluated by measuring different types of material from Middle Triassic localities in the Southern Alps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Palaeoenvironmental interpretation of a Triassic-Jurassic boundary section from Western Austria based on palaeoecological and geochemical data
TL;DR: In this article, a section spanning the Triassic-Jurassic boundary is described from near the village of Loruns in the Vorarlberg region of western Austria, which is interpreted to have been deposited in a marginal marine environment, possibly a mud flat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable isotope compositions of mammoth teeth from Niederweningen, Switzerland: Implications for the Late Pleistocene climate, environment, and diet
TL;DR: Oxygen and carbon isotope compositions of well-preserved mammoth teeth from the Middle Wurmian peat layer of Niederweningen, the most important mammoth site in Switzerland, were analysed to reconstruct Late Pleistocene palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental conditions as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Palaeoenvironments of the late Triassic Rhaetian Sea: Implications from oxygen and strontium isotopes of hybodont shark teeth

TL;DR: In this article, the oxygen and strontium isotopic composition of 125 hybodont sharks Lissodus and Hybodus from various late Triassic (Rhaetian) bone bed localities in the Central European Basin are used as environmental and ecological tracers for the shallow epicontinental RHAetian Sea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiocarbon chronology of the mammoth site at Niederweningen, Switzerland: Results from dating bones, teeth, wood, and peat
TL;DR: In this article, the ages confirmed that the mammoths as well as the peat section, in which they were found, are older than 40,000 14 C years BP.
