The age of Homo naledi and associated sediments in the Rising Star Cave, South Africa
New ages for flowstone, sediments and fossil bones from the Dinaledi Chamber are
presented. We combined optically stimulated luminescence dating of sediments with U-Th …

“Cryptic” diagenesis and its implications for speleothem geochronologies
Speleothems are usually considered as one of the most amenable palaeoclimate archives
for U-series dating. A number of studies in recent years, however, report cases of diagenetic …

Most Earth-surface calcites precipitate out of isotopic equilibrium
Oxygen-isotope thermometry played a critical role in the rise of modern geochemistry and
remains extensively used in (bio-) geoscience. Its theoretical foundations rest on the …

Evaporite karst in Italy: a review
Although outcropping rarely in Italy, evaporite (gypsum and anhydrite) karst has been
described in detail since the early 20th century. Gypsum caves are now known from almost …

Calibration of the dual clumped isotope thermometer for carbonates
The Δ 47 (paleo) thermometer has opened a new avenue to determine carbonate formation
temperatures independent of the oxygen isotopic composition of the fluid from which the …

The so-called “4.2 event” in the central Mediterranean and its climatic teleconnections
High-resolution isotopic analyses were performed on RL4 flowstone from Renella Cave
(Alpi Apuane, central Italy), a speleothem studied previously at low resolution. The new data …

Persistent influence of obliquity on ice age terminations since the Middle Pleistocene transition
Radiometric dating of glacial terminations over the past 640,000 years suggests pacing by
Earth's climatic precession, with each glacial-interglacial period spanning four or five cycles …

Speleothem record attests to stable environmental conditions during Neanderthal–modern human turnover in southern Italy
The causes of Neanderthal–modern human (MH) turnover are ambiguous. While potential
biocultural interactions between the two groups are still little known, it is clear that …

Stalagmite carbon isotopes and dead carbon proportion (DCP) in a near-closed-system situation: An interplay between sulphuric and carbonic acid dissolution
In this study, the 'dead carbon proportion'(DCP) calculated from combined U-Th and
radiocarbon analyses was used to explore the carbon isotope systematics in Corchia Cave …
