Description

FIGURE 9. Cross-plot of oxygen and carbon isotope values from fossil eggshells and sediment, base of the Dart Pinnacle, Taung. There is a high degree of consistency between replicate samples, and each eggshell fragment shows a distinct isotopic signature, indicating that the eggshells are derived from different individuals (with the possible exception of TDES 2 & TDES 3). The δ13C values indicate that all eggshells have a predominantly C4 (savannah grass) dietary signal, with the exception of T93-17 which has a pure (or almost pure) C3 diet.
