Abstract:
An oxygen isotope temperature record from 381 to 166 kaB. P. (230Th/234U dating and tuned ages) has been obtained by combining data on the isotopic composition of calcites with that of fluid inclusions
trapped in a stalagmite from a limestone cave in which a fossil cranium deposited. Several laminae in microsequence of the
stalagmite represent climatic events or shifts. The Nanjing man fossil was older than 381 kaB. P.
