Pages 65-69
Abstract
Two kinds of micro layers, i.e., north ern pattern and south ern pattern have been found in Chinese stalagmites, and have been verified to be annual layers by the comparison between Thermal Ioniz ation Mass Spectrometry U series disequilibria dating and micro layer counting. The differenc e in transmitted light or in fluorescent light of annual layers bet – ween the two kinds is discussed for annual layers counting chronology in reconstructing high-res olution paleoclimate in past millenniums.
