Periwinkle (Littorina littorea) intrashell delta O-18 and delta C-13 records from the mid-Holocene Limfjord region, Denmark: a new high-resolution palaeoenvironmental proxy approach
Shells of the common intertidal gastropod Littorina littorea both of recent and mid-Holocene origin were analysed along their growth spirals for seasonally induced variations in stable oxygen and carbon isotope compositions. The subfossil specimens are from the Stone Age kitchen midden in Ertebolle, northern Denmark, dated between 5970 +/- 95 and 5070 +/- 90 BP The recent specimens were collected
