Data have been obtained for simulated laboratory aging of shell valves of Ostrea angasi Sowerby. In respect to the conversion of L to D aspartic acid in peptides of > 1000 Dallons there was consistently an initial increase in D / L ratio followed by a progressive decrease in D / L with time. This phenomenon provides further insight into the dynamics of the racemization process. It may also be a significant factor influencing D / L ratios measured for total hydrolysable amino acids from natural fossils for the purposes of dating or correlation.
