description: Supplemental materials for: <strong>New applications of carbon stable isotope geochemistry to coprolites and plant fossils</strong> by Stephanie Marie Plaza-Torres <em>A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Department of Geological Sciences - 2023.</em> Supplemental materials include: Photographs of sampling locations for coprolite targeted sampling of specimens BU-89-2, HN-94-6, and BP-12-13 Photographs of sampling locations for predominant coprofabric coprolite samples Photographs of sampling locations for DMNS Creede Fm. samples (sampling locations indicated with a circle or red markings) Carbon stable isotope data for coprolite carbonates Carbon stable isotope data for Creede Fm. and Green River Fm. rock and plant samples R Code for coprolite and paleosol respiration rate sensitivity analysis Including datasets from references to be able to run code Conversion calculations for modern manure respiration rates
