Figure 2

Grain size frequency distributions shown for sand- (upper) and silt-dominated (lower) sediments. Red dots indicate position of samples used for grain-shape analysis (Fig. S1). δ18O values for bulk carbonate and ostracod shells (green square – Limnocythere inopinata, blue triangle – Eucypris mareotica, red inverted triangle – Cyprideis torosa). Age data of optically stimulated luminescence dating at left19.
