Isotope data are reported relative to the following internationally recognized standard materials:

18O and D
All 18O (except carbonates) and D values are reported relative to Vienna SMOW (Standard Mean Ocean Water). 18O of carbonates are reported relative to PDB (Cretaceous belemnite from the PeeDee formation).

The conversion of PDB 18O to SMOW 18O is:

18O SMOW = 1.03086*18O PDB + 30.86

13C
All 13C values are reported relative to PDB (Cretaceous belemnite from the PeeDee formation).

15N
15N values are reported relative to atmospheric nitrogen.

34S
34S values are reported relative to troilite of the Canyon Diablo iron meteorite.
