Abstract
⺠We use stable isotope geochemistry of dinosaur fossils to examine paleoenvironments. ⺠We compare dinosaur fossils across three Cretaceous localities in Mongolia. ⺠Geochemistry of fossils from Djadokhta Formation reflects an environment of dry dunes. ⺠Geochemistry of fossils from Nemegt Formation reflects mesic stream environment. ⺠We illustrate the potential of dinosaur fossil geochemistry of both eggs and teeth.
