A preliminary study of iron isotope fractionation in marine invertebrates (chitons, Mollusca) in near-shore environments

Chitons (Mollusca) are marine invertebrates that produce radulae (teeth or rasping tongues) containing high concentrations of biomineralized magnetite and other iron-bearing minerals. As Fe isotope signatures are influenced by redox processes and biological fractionation, Fe isotopes in chiton radul...
