Fig. 2: Lithology, age model, and paleoenvironmental proxy records from the studied section.
From: Late Miocene Tarim desert wetting linked with eccentricity minimum and East Asian monsoon weakening
The left panel shows the lithology and paleomagnetic age model. The right panel shows paleoenvironmental proxy records. a Fe content. b Si/Al. c Median grain size. d HIRM. e δ13CPDB. f δ18OPDB. g Eccentricity24. Gray bars show the disappearance of eolian dune strata during low eccentricity. The blue shadow highlight dominant wet environment over the lower ~50 m of the strata. The triangles show reversals recorded by this section, with red, purple, and blue ones corresponding to tightly (<20 kyr), mediumly (35–40 kyr), and loosely (75–125 kyr) constrained reversals, respectively. Numbers on the right indicate eccentricity lows from top to bottom.
