Journal ArticleDOI
Stable isotopic composition of chitin from arthropods recovered in archaeological contexts as palaeoenvironmental indicators
Arndt Schimmelmann,Michael J. Deniro,Mathieu Poulicek,M. F. Voss-Foucart,Gerhard Goffinet,Charles Jeuniaux +5 more
TL;DR: The observation that the stable isotope ratios of chitin from crustacean exoskeletons recovered from archaeological sites with ages up to 1400 years bp are in good agreement with measurements on modern crustaceans from similar environments is illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic characters of some polychaetes (Annelida) at the level of the chemical composition of the jaws
TL;DR: The structural proteins of the jaws of Glycera convoluta (Glyceridae) are essentially made up of glycine and histidine, and these chemical characters confirm the phyletic relationships proposed by Dales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitin preservation in Quaternary Coleoptera: preliminary results
TL;DR: Experimental studies on the chemistry of modern and fossil arthropod chitin suggest that it may remain sufficiently stable for paleoecologic and paleoclimatic information to be derived from stable isotope analysis.
Journal Article
Lack of chitin in a sample of Ordovician Chitinozoa
Book ChapterDOI
Chitin Degradation in Natural Environment (Mollusk Shells and Crab Carapaces)
Mathieu Poulicek,Gerhard Goffinet,M. F. Voss-Foucart,Jean-Claude Bussers,Marie-France Jaspar-Versali,C. Toussaint +5 more
TL;DR: Most marine sediments are organodetritic in nature, and many particles of the coarser fraction are constituted of more or less stable remains of biological origin (skeletal pieces of benthic or planctonic animals, plant remains, etc.) as discussed by the authors.
