Inorganic aragonite d18O profiles were compared to a predicted shell d18O time series that was based on water temperature and isotopic composition. Shell growth was assumed to stop below ~12C. Profiles of inorganic d18O and d13C were then used to establish relationships between shell growth and calendar dates. Because shell growth is faster during warmer months and therefore easy to sample, assignment of calendar years to individual growth increments was validated using the interannual changes in the predicted minimum d18O value of summer shell. Mussel shell periostracum and carbonate-bound organic matter (CBOM) samples were then assigned calendar dates based on their location along shell growth axes and compared to measurements of d13C and d15N of suspended particulate organic matter (SPOM) - the mussels' food source - during shell growth (1997-2006). Mussel shell periostracum and CBOM faithfully recorded seasonal variability in d15N and d13C values of SPOM, after accounting for the time difference between SPOM consumption and deposition of shell organics due to the gradual turnover of mantle tissue. This demonstrates that unionid shell geochemistry could be used to document changes in riverine environment, runoff, and nutrient cycles across a spectrum of time scales, from historical to archaeological to Quaternary. #------------------ # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: # Grant: #------------------ # Site_Information # Site_Name: Tennessee River near Paducah # Location: North America>United States Of America>Kentucky # Country: United States Of America # Northernmost_Latitude: 37.03 # Southernmost_Latitude: 37.03 # Easternmost_Longitude: -88.52 # Westernmost_Longitude: -88.52 # Elevation: 100 #------------------ # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: Kukolich2021ampl3 # Earliest_Year: 2003 # Most_Recent_Year: 2006 # Time_Unit: Year CE # Core_Length: # Notes: #------------------ # Chronology_Information # Chronology: # #---------------- # Variables # # Data variables follow are preceded by "##" in columns one and two. # Data line variables format: one per line, shortname-tab-variable components (what, material, error, units, seasonality, data type,detail, method, C or N for Character or Numeric data, free text) # ## SampleID Sample Identification,bivalve,,dimensionless,,Other collections,,,C, ## d15Nperi delta 15N,bivalve; tissue,,per mil AIR,,Other collections,,isotope ratio mass spectrometry,N,contemporaneous with corresponding CBOM sample ## d15Nperi_err delta 15N,bivalve; tissue,one standard deviation,per mil AIR,,Other collections,,isotope ratio mass spectrometry,N, ## d15NCBOM delta 15N,bivalve; tissue,,per mil AIR,,Other collections,,isotope ratio mass spectrometry,N,contemporaneous with corresponding periostracum sample ## d15NCBOM_err delta 15N,bivalve; tissue,one standard deviation,per mil AIR,,Other collections,,isotope ratio mass spectrometry,N, # #---------------- # Data: # Data lines follow (have no #) # Data line format - tab-delimited text, variable short name as header # Missing Values: # Sample ID d15Nperi d15Nperi_err d15NCBOM d15NCBOM_err Ampl3P-1 10.7 0.29 -999 -999 Ampl3P-2 -999 -999 10.8 0.29 Ampl3P-3 -999 -999 10.8 0.29 Ampl3P-4 11.4 0.29 13.4 0.29 Ampl3P-5 13.3 0.29 -999 0.29 Ampl3P-6 13.8 0.15 17.2 0.29 Ampl3P-7 7.1 0.15 9.6 0.29 Ampl3P-8 8.1 0.15 -999 0.29 Ampl3P-9 9.5 0.15 -999 0.29 Ampl3P-10 11.6 0.15 12.4 0.29 Ampl3P-11 8.9 0.15 9.3 0.29 Ampl3P-12 9.5 0.15 10.6 0.29 Ampl3P-13 11 0.15 11.5 0.29 Ampl3P-14 8.3 0.15 8.5 0.20
