  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Records of past temperature, precipitation, and other aspects of climate derived from mineral deposits found in caves. Parameter keywords describe what was measured in this data set.  Additional summary information can be found in the abstracts of papers listed in the data set citations.
 
          STUDY NOTES: DESCRIPTION:  
Stable isotope (carbon and oxygen) of stalagmite So-1 from Sofular 
Cave, Northern Turkey. 230Th dating of stalagmite So-1 was made on 
a multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer 
(MC-ICP-MS, Thermo-Finnigan-Neptune) at the Minnesota Isotope 
Laboratory, University of Minnesota (auxiliary material Table A1). 
Further 230Th dating on all stalagmites was done on a Nu Instruments 
MC-ICP-MS at the Geological Institute, University of Bern. 
Stable isotope analyses were performed on a Finnigan Delta V 
Advantage mass spectrometer equipped with an automated carbonate 
preparation system (Gas Bench-II) at the Institute of Geological 
Sciences, University of Bern. Precision of d13C and d18O 
measurements is 0.06‰ and 0.07‰ (1s-error) respectively.  

Sofular Cave:  41°25&apos;N, 31°56&apos;E, 700 m elev.
