Lateglacial-Middle Holocene Stable Isotope Records in Two Coeval Stalagmites from the Bihor Mountains, NW Romania
Oxygen and carbon stable isotope records of two stalagmites from NW Romania provide a continuous climatic record between 14.8 and 5.6 ka BP. The chronology is established by 21 TIMS uranium series ages. Uncertainties in the isotope chronology range between ±20 and ±100 yr. The d18 O values are posit...
