The hydrogen isotopic value ( D) of deer bone collagen is related to both D of rain during the growing season and growing season relative humidity (RH). With correction for the effects of RH, bone D is related to growing season rain D in a simple manner with a slope of 1.0. This indicates that, with RH correction, there are no additional sources of bias in the D of bone due to unaccounted for biologic or climatic effects. Due to a low sensitivity of bone D to RH effects, both yearly and growing season rain D can be estimated with considerable accuracy ( R = 0.97 and R = 0.96) from bone collagen D and 15 N. Here, 15 N is used to correct bone D for the effects of RH. From these estimates of rain D, it may then be possible to evaluate temperature since the D of rain primarily reflects local temperature. Therefore, the measurement of bone collagen D has good potential for evaluating paleoclimates.
