Oxygen isotope signatures from land snail (Helix melanostoma) shells and body fluid: Proxies for reconstructing Mediterranean and North African rainfall

AL Prendergast, RE Stevens, G Barker, TC O'Connell - Chemical Geology, 2015 - Elsevier
In this paper, we show that oxygen isotope ratios from the shell carbonate of the land snail
Helix melanostoma reflect local rainfall parameters. Stable oxygen isotopes were measured …
