Abstract
Carbon isotope ratios of ratite eggshells were measured in samples without diagenetic alterations. Temporal evolution (Miocene to Recent) of this ratio is related to the diet of the birds, which reflects a fluctuation in the percentage of C3 and C4 plants in the Namib ecosystem. The palaeoclimatic implications are discussed. To cite this article: L. Segalen et al., C. R. Geoscience 334 (2002) 917–924.
