Carbon and Oxygen Isotope Changes and Palaeoclimate Cycles Recorded by Lacustrine Deposits of Miocene Wudaoliang Group in Northern Tibetan Plateau oft-com:office:office" />
Carbon and oxygen isotopes in drill core of Wudaoliang Group have well recorded Early Miocene environment changes and palaeoclimate cycles in northern Tibetan Plateau.The Wudaoliang Group as thick as ~ oft-com:office:smarttags" />150 m consists mainly of limestone, dolomite limestone and marl, with a discontinuity occurring at the depth of 50.0~51.0 m in the drill core.Carbon and oxygen isotopes change considerably at the depth of 140~145 m, where both maximal δ18O and minimal δ13C occur two times.δ18O and δ13C reach to the minimum at the depth of 140.7 m, corresponding to global cooling Mi-1 recorded by the deep-sea drilling of oceanic deposits at the Miocene/Oligocene boundary.
