In conclusion, we found significant effects of organics on otolith d18O, introducing bias into temperature and thermal tolerance estimates. We recommend future work to carefully check for organic bias (either by SIMS and EPMA , or microdrilling and LA-ICPMS), and, ideally, correct for them. 🐟🧪

Sensitive Cd isotopic analysis by multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry using electrothermal vaporization
A fast and highly sensitive method for cadmium (Cd) isotopic analysis was developed by coupling electrothermal vaporization (ETV) with multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS). In this approach, a 5 μL Cd sample was dropped onto the W-coil ETV, followed by sequential drying and vaporization. The vaporized analyte was then swept into the MC-ICPMS for isotopic analysis, and the whole analysis process took only 3 min. This system exhibited exceptional sampling efficiency, achieving > 99% Cd vaporization and reducing sample consumption to only 2 ng per analysis, representing a 20-fold improvement over conventional pneumatic nebulization (PN). The ETV transient signals were recorded in time resolved analysis (TRA) mode, and the isotope ratio processing was calculated using the linear regression slope (LRS) method. These ratios were further corrected for instrumental mass bias using a combination of double spike (DS) and standard-sample bracketing (SSB), ensuring high precision and accuracy. Repeated analyses of NIST 3108 and GBW 08612 (in-house standard) yielded δ114/110Cd values of 0.00 ± 0.05‰ (2SD, n = 12) and − 0.96 ± 0.05‰ (2SD, n = 12), respectively. Tests on standard samples purified once and twice showed no significant differences, indicating better matrix tolerance over the conventional PN method. This method enables high-throughput Cd isotopic analysis of trace-level environmental samples, facilitating investigations into biogeochemical cycling at low Cd concentrations and pollution source tracing.

Our age constraint of ca. 230 Ma is supported by CA-ID-TIMS ages from youngest zircons recovered from 3 successive stratigraphic levels from the upper Popo Agie, well above the dinosaur site. An age model predicts *Ahvaytum* to be ca. 230 Ma, and the base of the Popo Agie to be ~ 231 Ma. (9/x)
