Stable isotope data from deep-water antipatharians: 400-Year records from the southeastern coast of the United States of America

In this study, time-series stable isotope results (δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N) from three deep-water Leiopathes glaberrima (Esper, 1788) specimens collected off the southeastern coast of the United States of America and one specimen from the Gulf of Mexico are presented. The specimens were collected live in 2004 and are estimated to be 200-500 yrs old based on ²¹⁰Pb measurements and band counts. The δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N long-term trends are reproducible within and …
