stable‑isotope dinosaur diet analysis
Special Diets Reviewed? Dinosaurs Thrived?
Stable-isotope analysis shows that Jurassic herbivores split into three distinct dietary niches, reducing competition. By measuring carbon-13 and nitrogen-15 ratios in fossil bone, researchers can map ancient foraging choices with surprising precision. This method also offers a blueprint for today’s specialty-diet planning, where micro-nutrient tracking guides personalized meals. Stable-Isotope
