Stable Isotopes of Subfossil Bat Guano as a Long-Term Environmental Archive: Insights from a Grand Canyon Cave Deposit

We investigated the utility of subfossil bat guano as a paleoenvironmental archive by comparing elemental ratios and delta super(13)C, delta super(15)N, and delta D values of various simple extracts from bulk material. Solvent-extracted guano yielded consistent C:N and N:H ratios, and delta super(13...
