Seymour Island La Meseta High-Res Stable Isotopes
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The data are stable oxygen and carbon isotopic ratios from macrofossils in the La Meseta Formation (Eocene) of Seymour Island.
Description
Taxa include naticid gastropods, brachiopods, and most importantly the bivalves Cucullaea and Eurhomalea. Specimens were collected within a well-resolved stratigraphy from multiple localities within stratigraphic horizons.
Shells were sectioned, polished, and sampled with a Merchantek (New Wave) MicroMill. 'Bulk' samples are sample paths drilled across a number of growth increments, avoiding cracks or other areas that appear to be altered. The bulk-sample dataset represents 907 analyses from 187 shells collected at 54 localities distributed within 27 stratigraphic horizons throughout the formation. An additional 288 samples were collected during high-resolution analysis of 2 specimens of Cucullaea and 2 of Eurhomalea.

These microsamples were collected along adjacent growth-band-parallel paths and covered up to 16 years of life history. In addition to light stable isotopes, we analyzed strontium isotope ratios of 43 bivalves from throughout the section.
