Misha lived her whole life in zoos, but this elephant’s teeth are now helping scientists reconstruct wildlife migrations. University of Utah geologists show how strontium isotopes found in teeth or ...
The ratios of strontium isotopes in fossil shark teeth can be used to better understand how coastal environments evolved in ancient times, according to our newly published work in Palaeogeography ...
In South Carolina, members of the local Black community are teaming up with scientists to produce a novel study of the trans-Atlantic slave trade Sunlight illuminates a plaque in Charleston, South ...
Stable isotopes have helped uncover migratory routes, trophic levels, and the geographic origin of migratory animals. They can be used on land as well as in the ocean and have revolutionized how ...
Many of the major events in human evolution, such as the rise of Neanderthals in Eurasia, occurred during the Middle Pleistocene. This period of time, somewhat inconveniently, lies between the ranges ...

While 87 Sr increases over time, the abundance of other strontium isotopes remains fixed. Accordingly, isotope ratios are a proxy for the age of rocks and typically differ from place to place.
