Abstract
⺠We show that dung in corral soils contain modern carbonates. ⺠The modern carbonates are depleted in Carbon-13 than pedogenic carbonates. ⺠The modern carbonates are enriched in Oxygen-18 than pedogenic carbonates. ⺠Stable isotopes composition of dung carbonates can identify abandoned corrals. ⺠The age of abandoned corrals can be determined by radiocarbon dating of carbonates.
