Virtually all strontium in vertebrate organisms is found in the skeleton.
When artificial stimulation with strontium was used, the fertilization of oocytes with heated or ethanol-treated spermatozoa was completely rescued.
It should also be noted that strontium-isotope ratios in rock commonly vary from the ratios measured for fauna and flora.
Strontium-isotope studies have focused on tooth enamel rather than bone.
The ability of embryos activated in strontium to undergo blastocyst development, establish pregnancy and generate live newborn was evaluated.
The presence of diagenetic strontium in an enamel sample could mask evidence for migration.
Post-depositional contamination of tooth enamel (diagenesis) is normally not significant in strontium-isotope studies.
The previously suggested correlation is not valid even if the strontium isotope system was reset.
