Abstract

A response is presented to the comment by Bailey et al. on the determination of seasonality of mollusk collecting using O-18 profiles of midden shells. Profiles were measured on two species of intertidal mollusks (Tegula funebralis and Collisella limatula) to provide further evidence for the applicability of the technique to seasonality studies.
