Abstract

Two kinds of micro layers, i.e., northern pattern and southern pattern have been found in Chinese stalagmites, and have been verified to be annual layers by the comparison between Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry U-series disequilibria dating and micro layer counting. The difference in transmitted light or in fluorescent light of annual layers between the two kinds is discussed for annual layers counting chronology in reconstructing high-resolution paleoclimate in past millenniums.
