Resumen de Laminación anual en un espeleotema del Holoceno inferior (Cueva de Kaite, Complejo Kárstico de Ojo Guareña, Burgos). Implicaciones paleoclimáticas

• Annual laminations have been recognized in a rapid-growing, early Holocene, calcite stalagmite from Kaite cave (Ojo Guareña Karst Complex, N Spain) using petrographic analysis and U/Th dating performed with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Each lamination reflects the annual growth of the speleothem, and the vertical changes in thickness of successive laminae are interpreted as changes in paleoprecipitation over the cave.
