a Radiocarbon ages (triangles) and fix points (stars; see Methods); b δ18Ocarb/arag and δ13Ccarb/arag measured on bulk carbonates (solid lines) and on single aragonite layers (blue and green diamonds); c δDwax of n-alkanes nC31 and nC29 (δDnC29, nC31); d Tayma lake phases I–V and wetland phase VI; e varve sublayers expressed as % of varve thickness for the varve chronology 8550–7900 ± 40 cal varve yr BP, and microscope photographs of thin sections highlighting different micro-facies of lake phases II–V.
